Cheer Teams
Memphis Elite Tryouts
Memphis Elite is the largest and most successful cheer and dance program in the Mid-south area serving over 400 athletes within a season. As a non-profit - 501(c) 3 corporation, Memphis Elite is the only gym in the country that offers college scholarships to its members for years of participation. Our staff prides itself on developing our athletes physically, mentally, and emotionally. We are excited about celebrating our 19th year in 2010 and hope you choose to be a part of our family.
Our tryout process is low key and very relaxed. All candidates will be given the opportunity to showcase their skills in an audition type setting. All cheer prospects will be placed on a team among other candidates their own age and skill level. For dance, auditions are April 3 or 10th at 1:00pm. Our goal is to have teams for every age and experience level, so the vast majority of candidates will be placed on a team. Rosters will be created based on this level of skill. Teams will be housed at the Cheer Station - 7740b Trinity Rd. - Suite 126. Call 624-9000 for more info.
Program Costs
Competitive cheerleading, while not as costly as some youth activities, can still be an expensive sport. Entry fees to competitions have risen to hundreds of dollars per athlete. Before you consider this or any other program, please carefully consider the financial commitment involved.
At Memphis Elite, our monthly tuition is an "all inclusive" price that covers practically all of the expenses that an athlete would normally incur throughout the year. This price includes: tuition, entry fees for local and national competitions, music, uniforms, and many other expenses. This system makes financial planning much easier for our customers. This amount does not include: camp, practice clothes, team gifts, lodging (stay with parents), and transportation.
Other gyms may look less expensive on the front end, only to hit you with additional costs at the end or just plain nickel or dime you to death.
