Cheer Coaching Online Courses
Aimed at advanced professional development through sports performance for cheerleading
Since 2011, CheerConditioning.Academy (CCA) has become the go-to resource cheer conditioning, sports performance, pom dance fitness & recreational cheerleading. When you register to become a member of CheerConditioning.Academy you can access monthly short courses for your Continuous Professional Development (CPD) and work your way to our USCCE accredited CCA GOLD Certification.
Our courses are not a replacement for cheer coaching credentialing, but they serve as a valuable continuing education programme for existing coaches and coaching assistants. Please speak with your event provider, insurance provider, governing body or your federation to check your credentialing requirements.
