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.
