Floor space time
In addition to our competitive cheerleading and tumbling programs, we offer floor space to teams outside our program. School teams, stunt groups, optimist teams, and collegiate teams can rent our facility to hold practices or choreography on weekends or during times when practice is not occurring. We offer low weekly or monthly rates that are extremely affordable. Please contact Jodie Kanipe for more information.

School Choreography
With our wide range of resources and experienced coaching staff, we offer halftime and pep rally choreography for the schools in our community and surrounding areas. Our choreographers can work with all abilities and sizes of teams, giving material for whatever the school team desires. All choreography is original and personalized for each team. Our facilities are often open for use if the school desires to come to Cheer Energy but our choreographers are willing to come to the school as well. Music can be done through us or can be purchased by the school if needed. Contact Jodie Kanipe or Heather Martin if interested.
Community service
Although we are a program dedicated to creating better athletes in the gym and on the competition mat, we believe that creating better people outside the gym will always be at the forefront of our program. We teach our athletes discipline, responsibility, respect, and the importance of giving back. Each season, every team in our program is given the responsibility of organizing and participating in 2 service projects, as well as the program Christmas service project. In 2025, as a program, Cheer Energy collected 25 bags filled with Christmas presents that were given to the Salvation Army Angel Tree Program and donated 13 moving boxes of canned food to local food banks. Our program benefits greatly from the people in our community, and we strive to give back to the community that has helped us grow into the program we are today.
Some of the community service projects we have completed in the past include:
Baking cookies for the service members of our community
March of Dimes- Walk for Babies
Susan G Komen- Walk for the Cure
Selling "Cheer for the Cure" t-shirts in support of two cheer moms fighting cancer
Salvation Army Angel Tree collection
Coat Drives
Food Bank donation for

Stay tuned for upcoming events that we will be participating in our community!
We are always looking for new ways to give back to our community! If you have a project in mind, please contact ceaproshop@gmail.com.
stunt and tumble clinics
Cheer Energy offers both stunting and tumbling clinics for our athletes and those not a part of our program. Our clinics range a number of skill levels and age groups, as well as a number of specialized skill camps. Many of our clinics are used as fundraisers for our senior elite teams, giving the athletes coaching from our staff, as well as assistance from numerous experienced cheerleaders. Our goal through these clinics are to better the athlete as much as possible in the limited time given. Athletes who participate in our clinics gain new skills, new experiences, and new friends, all while having fun. Be on the lookout for our upcoming clinics.
intro to allstars: cheer prep
Cheer Prep is one of our most popular programs at Cheer Energy. This 5-week class introduces athletes to the world of competitive cheerleading. Because competitive cheer is such a large time and financial commitment, this course is highly encouraged for anyone considering joining our program to ensure this is the sport for you. The class is held annually in the spring, and participants perform a shortened routine for parents to give participants a glimpse of what we do. Athletes ages 4-12 are welcome. Our experienced coaching staff works with the athletes on stunts, tumbling, jumps, and dance. A t-shirt is included in the price of the program. Be on the lookout for information as this program rolls around.
tryout prep
Tryout Prep is Cheer Energy's program directed specifically for middle and high school cheerleaders in the area. This 2-day course is an aid to athletes trying out for their school teams who feel they need an extra boost before tryouts. In this class, the athletes will learn to perfect their motions, gain needed tumbling, learn proper basic stunting technique, and work on jumps. Our coaches teaching this course have all previously cheered in high school and/or college and give the best tips/tricks to being successful at tryouts. Information on this course will come in March/April as tryouts approach.
