We do team placements in May and first competition in December. Last competition will be in April or very beginning of Ma.

We have tryouts in May, start practices the first week of June, compete in December and finish mid-April. Then it starts all over again.

This is how we roll, too!

Year round for us too but comps usually start in Dec and end with Worlds

Our gym is new and so we started our cheer season in August and didn't compete until December. This year, our season will end in Indy at U.S. Finals, tryouts the following week and then startup again in May. Is that too short of a break for parents and their pockets?

Ours starts end of May and ends beginning of May the following year. The couple weeks break in between is for tryouts.

Our program has become year round. Try outs are in May and practices start right after and because we have teams that win bids to Worlds and the Summit we are competing right up to tryouts.

Done in early April, tryouts in first week of May. Nice little 3 week-ish time off.

We also had a short break around Memorial Day to allow for vacations before we really hit the ground running in June.

(This was one of the reasons I took a year off! When we started fostering, I was at work, then coaching school, then coaching AS. I think our (soon-to-be) son thought it was normal for mommies to live in the gym and only come home at 9!)

Tryouts are April 7-17

We have multiple teams going to summit, however we start full team practices the Monday after tryouts so teams will be practicing with both their summit teams and new teams! There is no off season!

My daughters gym did it May-April , it was a 12 month program. No real breaks but it was a small gym and things where lax in the summer. Some gyms are 6 months programs.

We end our season April 13th with US Finals and then tryouts are April 26th. Practices with the new teams start that following week. They have a small break but we have regular tumbling classes going on in the time as well as stunt clinics, motion clinics, jump clinics, skill specific tumbling clinics, and even choreography pick up clinics.

Damn, this obviously works for your gym or they wouldn't be doing it but I can see places where this could be a huge issue with kids (and parents) possibly being hurt they didn't advance or get the team they want.

I wondered about that, I would hope if someone is upset about placement they wouldn't take it out on their current team. You never know with people though!!

Our season ends this weekend for all non-worlds teams. And of course for worlds teams the season ends after worlds in April. Then we have tryouts the first weekend of May and practice on going from there.

We do tryouts in April/May and start practicing in June, and competition season is usually late October or early November through early April.

We finish up in early April and have spring training and an end of the year banquet. Tryouts are always the first weekend in May and then we start practicing a week after the parent meeting. So we are year round. No off season for us!

ETA: we start competing in November
