Whether you’re new to cheerleading, looking to strengthen your fundamentals, preparing for a competition team, or just looking for a fun way to build confidence and athletic skills, our Academy Classes have a place for you!
Academy Classes
Train ~ Grow ~ Rise
Build strong stunts from the ground up. Stunt Lab combines stunt-specific strength and conditioning with progressive drills designed to develop safe, consistent technique. Athletes will learn and refine the body positions, grips, timing, and foundational skills used in DD Cheer Factory's stunt training system while building the strength and body control needed to progress.
Whether an athlete is brand new to stunting, sharpening existing skills, or preparing for a competitive team, Stunt Lab focuses on mastering the fundamentals that make more advanced skills possible.
Stunt Lab
Build the strength, technique, and precision behind great cheerleading. Skills Lab combines athletic conditioning with focused training in motions, jumps, flexibility, synchronization, and body control. Athletes will develop the strength and power needed to improve their skills while learning the technique that makes those skills sharp, clean, and consistent.
Skills Lab is designed for athletes at every stage, from those learning cheer fundamentals for the first time to experienced cheerleaders looking to strengthen their technique and prepare for competitive cheer.
Skills Lab
Built to Learn Together
DD Cheer Factory Academy classes are designed to allow athletes of different ages and experience levels to train together while still being challenged at an appropriate level. Skills and drills can be modified and progressed based on each athlete's ability, allowing newer cheerleaders to build strong foundations while more experienced athletes continue developing their technique.
Our “Mentor Model” also gives athletes opportunities to learn from, encourage, and lead one another. We believe some of the strongest teams are built when athletes of different ages, strengths, and experience levels are given opportunities to grow together.
Building Toward Season III
Built to Rise
Season III is rising! DD Cheer Factory's Winter/Spring competitive season is coming, and Academy training is the first step toward building our Season III teams.
Athletes planning to compete are strongly encouraged to begin training in October. Stunt Lab and Skills Lab develop the strength, technique, body control, and foundational skills we'll build upon as competitive team training begins.
There are no tryouts at DD Cheer Factory. Team assessments help us evaluate current skills, determine team placement, and build teams where every athlete has an opportunity to contribute and grow.
