When Families Don’t Pay: 5 Things You Can Do

Cassandra Rice of Henderson, NV-based Cheercats has watched her gym, Gymcats, grow into a thriving business over the last 21 years. In 1992, Gymcats started out with a base of just 150 members. Today their current roster counts 1,500 clients with 220 athletes enrolled in nine cheer programs.

In truth, Rice works hard to strike a balance between managing a dynamic program and ensuring that families continue to support it.
