All-star cheer, school cheer, dance studios and teams

Competition season, organized.

Cheer and dance programs carry costs parents feel: competition fees, uniforms, travel, and a recital or showcase that needs tickets and ushers. Team Scout handles registration with payment plans, a group for every team and class, and tickets with door scanning, from one account.

Sound familiar?

Uniform sizes, competition fees and choreography payments each have their own due date and their own spreadsheet.

Recital tickets sell on one site, ushers sign up on another, and the lobby table takes cash.

The minis' parents keep getting the senior team's hotel details.

What Team Scout does about it

Fees in installments, sizes on the form

Registration forms with custom fields for uniform and shoe sizes, waivers signed on the form, and fees paid in full or in installments with automatic reminders before each charge.

Recital and showcase tickets

Ticket types with capacity, a sales window, discount codes and comp tickets. Scan at the door from any phone and take walk-ups on a card reader. Free tickets are free, and paid tickets are $1 each up to $10.

A group per team and class

Each team and class has its own feed, chat, roster and calendar, so the minis' parents get the minis' news. Free.

When to start: All-star programs hold tryouts in late spring for a season that competes from fall into spring, and studios open fall enrollment in August, so build each form a month before it opens.

Questions cheer and dance programs ask

Can we sell practice wear?

Yes. A store for practice and spirit wear runs on the paid plans, with the money landing in the same account by category.

Can a parent pay a competition fee over several months?

Yes. Set the installments on the registration form, monthly, every two weeks or on specific dates. The card on file is charged on schedule, with reminders 7, 3 and 1 day before each charge.

How to run registration and collect fees without chasing parents

Chasing is a design problem, not a people problem. Put the payment plan, the reminders and the policy on the form, and most of the follow-up happens without you. This guide covers installments, autopay, reminders, failed payments, cash and checks, refunds and family credits.
