NO MATTER WHERE you live, if you're considering on putting your little one in cheer, don't think, RUN to your nearest cheer gym and try it out! Its the best decision I EVER made with my daughter!!! Best of luck with your Tiny/Mini teams Pyramids! They are the light of our lives at OC and it's just a WONDERFUL thing to see them practice each week!!!

Thanks for the luck! With just this post, and making announcements through e-mail and to our all stars I had 4 new little ones try out the team. Now I just need 10 more lol... I will have 20 if I have to drag people in I will do it lol... This is how I got all of the juniors that I coach now in the gym, and they have been with us for 5 years now. Good luck to OC as well with their program next year! And congrats to Fierce for their bid! Well deserved.

Thanks Angie. You guys run a very very classy program.

Angie.... make flyers. Go to preschools and ask if they can hand them out. Some will, some wont. Tell kids to bring in friends, siblings, friends of siblings, etc. I would see kids get out of cars at the store and leave a flyer on the windshield of that car. Sneaky but very effective.... Give the flyers out to parents and tell them to hand them out to people they see who have kids the right age. Be totally nice and polite and promote the program. It works really really well, especially if the parents feel like they are WANTED there.

Okay, it's late and I'm going to use that as my excuse....When I first read this, I thought "well, of course, there's going to be flyers (you know, the kids being held up in the air by other kids)" Color me red.

Many cities are cracking down on the windshield and fines can be handed out if you don't get a permit first.

I was just about to say that acout fines .. A lot of places wont allow it and will get very angry if flyers are unapproved first. Check with the city council beforehand. A great suggestion is going to private daycares; especially for the tiny program. You can gather a lot of young moms who'd love to get their daughters involved. Of course they talk their friends/neighbors/everyone they know to join with them. Congrats on getting 4 more girls!

Actually, you'd get in trouble if you went thru the parking lot and put a flyer on every single car. They do that cause paper ends up all over the place cause people don't want them. You won't get harassed if you put them on select cars.

Hint: parking lots such as grocery stores, malls, etc are private property. The property owner has to file. The police will tell you to stop doing it if there's a complaint but they dont care about the 1 to 5 flyers you put out.

You won't get a fine for putting a flyer, note, etc on someones car. Trust me. An hour report isn't worth 3 flyers.... (the pieces of paper, not the kids in the air Tamara.... lol, lol, lol)

You got that from the horses mouth......

Go flyer the cars at a chuck e cheese or babies r us and maybe even a mc donalds.

I was going to say private daycares. They are the best. Young parents looking for something for their kids to get involved in. Even if you can't get them for a team just yet, you can start a tiny tots class, like we did, from local daycares. You make a flyer that states you will teach the basic fundamentals of cheerleading and gymnastics. I love my tinytots class. They're one of my favorite classes to teach during the week!!!
