This has the benefit of reducing fundraising requirements for the clubs and lowering the bill for the atheletes but there is no direct monetary compensation and it is an expensive sport to participate in. As /u/core412 mentioned you can win fully paid, partially paid or unpaid bids for Worlds in the USA to qualify for entry.ĪASCF will provide a set amount of money per athelete on the team to the all star gym that won the fully paid or partially paid bid to incentivise Australia being represented at Worlds. In Australia at least under the Australian All Star Cheer and Dance Federation (AASCF) the biggest or main incentive is to compete against other teams to be the best in your division at state, national and if the opportunity presents itself world level. Gyms sometimes do this for boy athletes as well, if in an area where it is more difficult to recruit boys for coed divisions. She cheered at not as successful gyms that need a certain % of the team performing those skills in the routine to stay competitive in the level that are in.thus why they'd waive fees.
This is in contrast to Lexi, who talked about having her gym fees waived because they wanted her tumbling.
Those high profile teams don't need to pay her to get high level athletes however. She stays more in the spotlight if competing on high profile teams, thus opening more opportunities for her via social media, modeling, etc. In terms of why Gabi would move around gyms so much: She's an influencer in the cheer world.
People don't start in this sport expecting to make it a career (a lot of people start in other sports such as gymnastics, and then transition over to cheer because it's a welcoming team environment for all types of athletes - regardless of body type, ability level, etc).Ĭertain competitions do give cash prizes in the form of "bids" in Allstar, essentially paying for team expenses to get to the big Worlds competition at end of season, but this does not go into individual pockets. As someone already stated, they may get a scholarship for college if on a university cheer team, but for most schools it is highly unlikely the scholarship would be anything more than $ to cover books per semester. They'd have to use their cheerleading experience to become a coach, choreographer, social media influencer, etc. In terms of money for the athletes? None in the direct conventional way.
