PR Tips for your own Cheerleading Gym

   In order to have a productive all star cheerleading gym many things need to happen to make that happen. The first most important thing is getting a turn out at your gym. Whether it is athletes trying out or other teams from schools/team, and individual open gym sessions. For people who are not familiar with cheerleading, paying for open gym sessions can get expensive. Cheerleaders go to open gym sessions for a one on one training with a coach to improve their skill typically tumbling(gymnastics).
  
    To get publicity for your gym there are many things you can do. Some ideas that Kentucky Elite uses are to have the members of the gym wear bright colored shirts that promote their gym, and every time they get seen with the shirt on in public they receive a free pass for an open gym session. Another tactic is to reach out to the public schools and the coaches of cheerleading to get those teams to use your gym for practice or specific training.
   
   The most convenient way is to reach out with social networks or through the media. Twitter, and Facebook are so popular and widely used it is a good way to get the word out about your gym. These networks leave room for conversations and comments which can make a huge difference. Also using the media especially the local media that looks for stories to cover.
    
    Of coarse advertising the normal way through magazine, penny savers, etc are always a good way to get the gym name out to the community.
