For Parents New to Cheer

[Pupper214]

Hi! New prospective cheer parent here. DD was a competitive gymnast and now she wants to try out for an All-Star Cheer team. I've looked into some gyms in our area and narrowed it down to 2. Is it frowned upon to try out at 2 different gyms? They both do team placement shortly after tryouts. Does that mean we are committing to whatever placement they decide?

I probably have other questions I don't even realize at this time so if you can add any helpful information for a new cheer parent, it would be much appreciated!

Yes, many people frown on it. I recommend visiting both gyms beforehand, checking out their social media, and talking to current families to get a feel for the environment. Once you accept a team placement, you’re usually committing for the full season, so it’s important to feel confident about your choice.
