The Open’s new age grid has been a hot topic in the all star

cheerleading world, but is age separation alone really what keeps kids

safe? In this episode, we’re diving into the bigger picture—why

coaches, gym owners, and gym culture play a far greater role in

athlete safety than just numbers on a roster.



From team placements and proper progressions to building the right

environment for mentorship and accountability, this conversation is

all about what truly matters when it comes to athlete development and

retention. Gym owners and coaches have the power to set expectations,

structure practices, and create a culture that prioritizes both safety

and growth.



Tune in as we break it all down and discuss how smart coaching and

business strategies can help gyms navigate these changes the right

way.
