Competitive cheer carries some of the highest per-athlete costs in youth sports, and an all-star program feels it more than most. A single gym might field Tiny, Youth, Junior, and Senior teams across multiple levels, each with a choreography bill, a uniform and shoe order, competition entry fees for every event on the schedule, and travel for the destination competitions. Sideline cheer programs add sideline squads on top, tied to a school or league football and basketball season.
Every one of those teams brings its own roster, its own fees, and its own parents who want a clear answer on what is due and when. Most gyms and booster clubs run this on a registration form, a spreadsheet, and a group chat, with a treasurer chasing choreography and competition money one Venmo at a time.
Sideline puts registration, sizing, waivers, and every fee in one place. A parent sees exactly what they owe and what they have paid, and the program is not reconciling four teams worth of payments by hand the week before a nonrefundable competition deposit is due.
Cheer registration asks for more sizing detail than almost any sport, because a single athlete needs a uniform, a bow, shoes, and often a warm-up, and every piece has to be ordered to fit. When you set up a cheer organization, Sideline builds a registration form around what a squad actually needs. A parent selects the athlete level and team, notes tumbling skills or a position like flyer, base, or backspot, and enters uniform size, shoe size, and the other sizing the order requires.
You add, remove, or reorder any field from your settings, so if you also collect a sports physical date or the school for a sideline squad, you ask once and every family sees it. Because cheer is youth by default, youth mode keeps a parent or guardian on every registration, so the adult signing the guardian waiver and paying is always on record, and a family with two athletes in the gym registers both without starting over.
Turn on fields for medical information, allergies, and an emergency contact, and collect the signed liability and participation waivers as part of sign-up, so nothing is outstanding when the athlete first steps on the mat. Everything a family submits stays attached to that athlete, so your coaches and directors have it on hand without digging through old email threads.
All-star fees rarely arrive in one payment, and Sideline handles each. Collect the season or registration fee at sign-up through Stripe, so joining the team and paying the first installment happen together. Everything after that runs through invoices. Bill the whole team for the choreography fee when the routine is set, collect a uniform and shoe deposit, charge each competition entry as the schedule fills in, or split a hotel block for a destination event across the roster.
Parents pay online with a card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay, and your dashboard shows who has paid and who still owes on every charge, per athlete, so you know a team is funded before you send a nonrefundable competition deposit. Money moves directly from the parent to your program bank account through your connected Stripe account, and Sideline never holds your funds.
Processing runs 2.9% plus 30 cents through Stripe with a small platform fee on top, and that platform fee drops as you grow into paid plans. That adds up across a season where each family may make a dozen separate payments for choreography, uniforms, entries, and travel.
A cheer program is several teams sharing a gym, and Sideline runs them all from one dashboard. Give each team its own registration link, so a family signing up for a Junior Level 2 team only sees that team and its fee, and an athlete never lands on the wrong squad. The moment you approve a registration, that athlete appears on the right roster with their level, sizing, and payment status attached, so when the uniform and bow order is due you already have every size in one place instead of texting thirty parents.
Filter the program by team or level to see your whole gym at a glance. Every coach gets a login scoped to their own team: roster, registrations, calendar, and communications, so a Youth team coach sees only their athletes and not the Senior squad contact details or medical info. Program directors see everything from the organization view.
Communication runs through the same dashboard, so you email one team about a practice change or the whole program about a competition deposit deadline instead of relying on a group chat half the parents have muted. When athletes move up a level between seasons, their history, payments, and signed waivers carry forward, so a returning family is a few clicks from the new roster instead of a blank form.
Yes. A cheer organization starts with fields for level, team, tumbling and position, and uniform, shoe, and bow sizing built into the registration form. You can add, remove, or reorder any field from your admin settings, so the form asks for exactly the sizing your order requires and nothing more.
Cheer runs in youth mode, so a parent or guardian registers each athlete. That keeps the adult who signs the guardian waiver and pays on record for every registration, and a family with more than one athlete in the gym can register them all without starting the form over.
Yes. The season fee is collected at sign-up, and everything else runs through invoices. Bill the choreography fee when the routine is set, charge each competition entry as the schedule fills in, collect a uniform and shoe deposit, or split travel across the roster. Parents pay online through Stripe, and your dashboard tracks who has paid on each charge, per athlete.
Create a team for each squad, from Tiny through Senior, and each gets its own registration link and roster. Approved athletes land on the right team automatically, coaches get access scoped to their own team, and directors see the whole program from one dashboard.
Yes. Parents sign the guardian liability and participation waivers as part of registration, and you can enable fields for medical information, allergies, and an emergency contact. Everything is stored with the athlete record, so it is on file before the athlete steps on the mat.
For many small programs, yes. The free Starter plan includes 3 teams and up to 75 athletes with full online registration, payment collection, waivers, and coach dashboards, and no credit card is required. When you outgrow it, the Club plan is $29/month for up to 15 teams and Pro is $79/month for up to 50 teams.
