Practice planning
Cheer Practice Plans Built in Minutes, Reused All Season.
A cheer practice plan splits gym time into timed blocks: warmup, stunts, tumbling, full-outs, cooldown. Cheerleaders builds a 90 minute plan in about 4 minutes, saves it as a template and reuses it every week of the season.
90 minutes, five blocks, no dead time on the mat.
Every plan is a stack of timed blocks. Drag a block to reorder, stretch it by five minutes, or swap tumbling for pyramid work. The clock math updates itself, so 90 minutes stays 90 minutes.
Want the structure on paper first? The cheer practice plan template on our blog walks through the same 90 minute method.
| Time | Block | Focus | Minutes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0:00 | Warmup + stretch | Dynamic warmup, wrists and ankles, jump prep | 15 |
| 0:15 | Stunt sequences | Group stunts by level, L2 preps to L4 full-ups | 25 |
| 0:40 | Tumbling lines | Standing and running passes, spotters assigned | 20 |
| 1:00 | Full-outs | Routine at performance pace, three runs, notes between | 20 |
| 1:20 | Cooldown + notes | Stretch, corrections recap, next practice goals | 10 |
| 1:30 | Done | Attendance already logged, notes saved to the team | 90 |
A default 90 minute plan. Blocks, focus and minutes are fully editable per team.
Comp week? Swap the template, keep the clock.
This is the plan strip for one practice. Toggle between a regular week and a comp week: the blocks re-balance toward full-outs and the total stays honest. Most coaches keep 3 or 4 templates for the whole season.
- Templates copy to any week in one tap.
- Coach notes attach per block, visible to your staff only.
- Parents get an attendance ping 24 hours before every practice.

Practice questions, answered
Can I reuse a practice plan?
Yes. Save any plan as a template and drop it onto any week. Most coaches keep 3 or 4 templates, one per season phase, and adjust minutes as comps get close.
Do parents and athletes see the plan?
Athletes and parents see practice times and locations on a read-only schedule, and parents get an automatic attendance ping 24 hours before. Block-by-block coaching notes stay coach-only.
Can assistant coaches edit plans?
Yes. Give assistants edit access to specific teams. Changes sync instantly, so the person running warmups always has the current plan.
