Welcome to Cheer 101
Welcome to Cheer 101 — your first step into building the foundation every great cheerleader needs.
This course was created to give athletes, coaches, and parents a clear and structured path through the fundamentals of competitive cheerleading. Whether you’re brand new to the sport or looking to solidify your basics, the lessons inside Cheer 101 will set you up for success.
Here’s what you can expect:
Cheerleading Fundamentals – Learn the building blocks: body positions, shapes, motions, and performance.
Warm Up & Preparation – A structured guide to warm-ups, progressions, and drills to keep you safe and ready to train at your best.
Tumbling Foundations – The essential steps, body placement, and techniques that build toward powerful and consistent tumbling skills.
Jump Technique – My proven jump formula: from proper execution and technical breakdowns to strength, flexibility, and drills that take your jumps higher.
Additional Training & Resources – Bonus tools, injury prevention strategies, and insider coaching tips to give you a complete training edge.
By the end of this course, you’ll have a solid foundation and the confidence to continue climbing through levels, no matter where your cheer journey takes you.
I’m excited to share not just the “how,” but the why — the methods, techniques, and progressions that I’ve used as an athlete and coach at the highest level of the sport.
Let’s get started.
