For HS and MS coaches and their athletic directors
Cheer Coach Software for School Teams Your AD Can Audit Without Emailing You.
Cheer coach software gives a school coach about 5 hours a week back: tryout scores your athletic director can audit, practice plans built in 15 minutes instead of 2 hours, and parent reminders that send themselves, from $29 a month.
When a parent appeals a cut, you forward a report.
School tryouts get challenged: to the coach, then the AD, sometimes the principal. Digital cheer tryout score sheets log every judge's entry with a timestamp, rank athletes automatically and export to PDF. Your athletic director gets read-only access to the whole record, so the decision defends itself.
- Judges score independently on their own phones. No shared clipboard, no influence.
- Rankings computed automatically. No late-night spreadsheet math, no arithmetic errors.
- Exportable judge log for the AD file, ready before the results email goes out.
Most school cheer coaches teach all day and coach after the bell. Here is where the hours actually go, and where they come back.
| Weekly task | Before | With Cheerleaders |
|---|---|---|
| Sunday night practice planning | 2 hours rebuilding the week in a doc | 15 minutes reusing timed block plans |
| "What time is practice?" messages | 20+ texts and chat replies | Automatic reminders 24 hours ahead |
| Attendance and eligibility notes | Paper sheet, retyped for the AD | One tap per athlete, AD sees it live |
| Comp paperwork and deadlines | Sticky notes and inbox digging | One season calendar with deadline alerts |
| Tryout scoring and ranking | Evenings of spreadsheet math | Ranked automatically as judges score |
| Reporting to the athletic director | Compile a summary on request | Read-only AD access, always current |
The planner behind that Sunday-night row lives in cheer practice plans.
Parent communication
One source of truth parents actually check.
Practice times, game-day call times, spirit-wear deadlines and pickup changes live in one place, with automatic reminders. Keep your group chat for the fun stuff; the logistics stop depending on who scrolled far enough.
Game days and comps
Football Fridays and comp Saturdays, one calendar.
Your full cheer competition schedule plus every sideline commitment, with registration deadlines, packing lists and results in the same view your AD and parents see.
“I built our whole comp season in one sitting: deadlines, music, packing lists. My AD can finally see everything without emailing me.”

Head Coach, Falcon Ridge HS
Easy for a coach to buy. Easy for a district to approve.
- Team plan at $29/month fits a coach's activity budget; Program at $79/month covers varsity, JV and middle school under 3 coach seats.
- Enterprise adds invoicing and PO billing, SSO/SAML, an audit log and a DPA, the checklist a district business office asks for.
- Student data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is role-based, and athlete data is never sold.
- Coaching at a private gym too? The cheer gym software page covers multi-team gyms, and all star cheer gym software covers multi-level programs.
Can my athletic director have access without being able to change anything?
Yes. Give your AD a read-only role: they see rosters, attendance, tryout records and the season calendar live, and nothing gets edited by accident. Districts on Enterprise can add granular roles and an audit log.
We run varsity, JV and middle school. Is that one plan or three?
One. The Program plan at $79/month covers up to 5 teams and 3 coach seats, so the whole school program runs under one account with one bill.
Does it handle sideline season as well as competition season?
Yes. Football and basketball sideline dates, pep rallies and competitions all sit on the same season calendar, with the same reminders to athletes and parents.
Game day, every day
Coach the team. Not the paperwork.
Auditable tryouts, 15-minute practice planning and parent reminders that send themselves. Your squad is set up in minutes.
Takes 30 seconds. No credit card needed.
