In this episode of the Cheer Biz Podcast, Dan Cotton breaks down a problem that hits cheer gyms every year: the post-tryout and summer dip in class enrollment.
Right before tryouts, classes, privates, and skill work are booming. Athletes are trying to get ready, parents are motivated, and gyms feel busy. But once tryouts are over, many families pause, drop classes, or disappear for the summer — creating a revenue dip that can catch gym owners off guard.
Dan shares practical strategies to help cheer gym owners protect enrollment, retain class athletes, and build revenue through the summer months. He explains why you should keep building interest lists even when classes are full, how to use summer camps and skill clinics strategically, why athletes need post-tryout goals, and how flexible summer attendance policies can keep families enrolled longer.
If you are a cheer gym owner, program director, or coach, this episode will help you plan ahead, reduce cancellations, keep classes full, and avoid getting blindsided by the summer slowdown.
