Rogue was established in 2020 starting with around 40 athletes who did all practicing out of a small church gymnasium. Skip forward to 2023 where Rogue Cheer Athletics now serves upwards of 100 athletes in a given competitive season. Rogue’s 11,000 sq ft home gym is open 6 days a week training athletes in both competitive cheerleading and tumbling. A schedule that was comprised of 1-4 Oregon competitions a season has now exceeded our expectations to 5-7 competitions a season with at least half being out of state or on a national level.
To remain a sustainable and functioning business, Rogue is increasing monthly costs starting in 2023. Rogue cheer coaching staff gives their time voluntarily. Funds brought into Rogue Cheer Athletics are then put back into the gyms costly rent, utilities, insurance, equipment, upkeep, uniforms, trainings for coaches and anything and everything that helps Rogue stay functioning as a cheerleading gym for the community of Southern Oregon. We as a staff are committed to keep costs affordable for families while also striving to be a gym that is wise to consider the sustainability of Rogue’s future. Please see the updated Competition Season Cost for 2023 -2024. Please note that camp cost and nationals trip cost is not included and are to be paid separately.
