Meet John

Built By A Coach Who's Done It At The Top.

John Knowles has spent more than 15 years coaching and choreographing at the highest levels of all-star cheer. As the former All-Star Director and Director of Routine Development at Cheer Athletics Plano, he coached and choreographed multiple Worlds, Summit, NCA, and Majors winning teams.

Along the way, he kept seeing great coaches leave points on the floor because no one had ever shown them what actually matters on the scoresheet, why it matters, or how to fix it efficiently in practice. That Cheer School is his answer. It takes the systems he used at the top of the sport and puts them in the hands of every coach, in every gym, on any schedule.

The Problem

Too Many Coaches Are Figuring It Out Alone.

Talented coaches spend whole seasons guessing at the scoresheet, at practice plans, and at what a routine actually needs. And in most gyms, every one of those questions ends up on one person's desk.

No Clear System

Scoring knowledge, practice planning, and routine standards get pieced together from wherever coaches can find them.

Nowhere To Take Questions

When a routine gets stuck or a score doesn't make sense, there's no one to ask, or it all routes back to the gym owner.

Every Season Starts Over

Hard-won lessons don't stick, and when a coach leaves, whatever they learned walks out the door with them.

The Fix

One System. Every Coach. All Season.

That Cheer School is a coaching community for individual coaches, directors, and entire gym staffs, built around proven, season-long systems instead of one-off advice.

Every member gets the same clarity: how to read a scoresheet, how to plan a practice, how to build a routine with purpose. John is active in the community, running monthly calls and answering questions in the discussion boards, so nobody's coaching on a guess.

Season Roadmap

A clear plan for what's next at every point in the season, so you're never guessing.

Live Community

Monthly community calls and active discussion boards with coaches who show up and support each other.

Direct Access To John

Real answers from John himself, not a canned resource library.

Every Season, Every Schedule

Pre-choreography through championships, on a US calendar or an entirely different one. We're built for wherever your season falls.

Questions

Before You Join

Which plan is right for me?
If you're a coach looking to level up on your own, the individual plan is built for you. If you own or direct a gym and want your whole staff running on the same system, the multi-account membership covers everyone under one annual plan.
Is the multi-account plan different from the individual plan?
Not in what you get. Every member on a multi-account membership gets the exact same benefits as an individual member. The only difference is that one membership covers your whole team.
How many people can I add to a multi-account membership?
As many as you have. There's no per-seat charge and no member limit.
What if my season already started?
That's fine. We meet you where you are in the season and build from there. You don't need to be starting from pre-choreography to get value.
I'm outside the US and run on a different competition calendar. Does this still work?
Yes. That Cheer School supports coaches on every kind of season schedule, not just the US calendar. Wherever your season falls, we're here for that part of it.
On the multi-account plan, how do my coaches get access?
Once you're a member, you send us the email addresses for your team and each person receives a personal invitation into the community. You can add people as your staff changes.
What happens if a coach leaves my program?
Just let us know and we'll remove their access. Add their replacement whenever you're ready.
How does billing work?
Individual memberships are billed monthly at $79. The multi-account membership is billed once a year at $4,999.
