Most divisions allow 5 to 38 members per team. University divisions are 6 to 38, and IASF Summit divisions are 16 to 30 members. Where applicable, divisions are split by team size: Extra Small 5 to 15 athletes, Small 16 to 24, Large 25 to 30, Extra Large 31 to 38.
Gym size is set by the number of competition athletes in the program, not the number entered at one event:
- Extra Small gym: one physical address and 75 or fewer athletes registered in its competitive cheer program.
- Small gym: one physical address and 76 to 125 athletes.
- Large gym: 126 or more athletes.
Exhibition, crossover, CheerABILITY, non-competing and dance athletes do not count. Once set, a gym cannot move down to a smaller size during the season, but can move up. A gym that shares an ABN and uniforms, logo, coaches, athletes or marketing with a larger gym counts as the larger size.
