• Skill-Building & Choreography: Dozens of dynamic sessions, ranging from stunt progressions and spotting basics to choreography ideas, game-day strategies, and more.

• Sport-Specific Training: Sessions fully dedicated to the sport of cheerleading, with a strong focus on stunting and technique development.

• Coaching Essentials: Classes on team management, practice planning, leadership, and building a positive program culture.

• Mental Wellness & Inspiration: Uplifting sessions to support coach and athlete well-being, along with motivational workshops to recharge your energy and mindset.

• Sessions for Every Program: Catered to all aspects of cheerleading, whether you coach sideline, game day, and traditional competitive teams, Stomp and Shake, or STUNT, we have you covered!

• Relaxation & Wellness: Yoga, vendors, and mindfulness activities to help you reset. It’s a SPAliday for cheer coaches.

Whether you’re a new coach or a veteran, you’ll walk away with fresh ideas, practical tools, and a renewed spirit to bring back to your team. Don’t miss this chance to connect with other coaches, learn from the best, celebrate the season, and leave feeling refreshed and empowered.
