CheerForce is an athletic training center located in Simi Valley, California.  We are dedicated to providing our students with the best "cheer education" possible.  Whether you want to learn the skills of cheerleading, brush up for high school tryouts, or compete with our National Champion teams, CheerForce is for you!  CheerForce also offers instruction to our local Pop Warner cheerleading teams and high school cheer teams.  If you have a need, we will find an answer! CheerForce began in 2001 with two teams, and as with many cheer programs, practiced in parks and community centers.  After some reorganization and focus on Simi Valley's students in the summer of 2002, we moved into our first 2,500 sq-ft gym with three teams.  With the growth of our introductory classes and tumbling classes, 8 months later we ran out of space!  We then moved down the street to our second 6,500 sq-ft facility.  Now in our 9th season, our Simi Valley location just opened our brand new state of the art gym with two full 54x42 spring floors with DVR video replay , a tumbling class spring floor, Tumbl-trak, Rod floor, and more. As we now head into our 10th season, we continue to offer competitive cheer teams, tumbling classes, introductory cheer classes, cheer camps, & private lessons.  With six successful seasons under our belt, and some guidance from the most highly recognized professionals in our industry, CheerForce is not just about cheerleading, but about creating an experience your child will never forget.  Learn how to join CheerForce.

Did you know?...

 - Regular physical activity in adolescence can reduce girls’ risk for obesity and hyperlipidemia (high levels of fat in the blood), which in turn have been known to be associated with lower adult onset of coronary heart disease and certain cancers.

 - Regular physical activity can also helps girls build greater peak bone mass, thereby reducing the adult risk for osteoporosis.

 - Exercise and sport participation can enhance mental health by offering adolescent girls positive feelings about body, image, improved self-esteem, tangible experiences of success and increase self-confidence.

 - Sports are an educational asset in girls’ lives. Research findings show that many high school female athletes report higher grades and standardized test scores and lower dropout rates, and are more likely to go to college than their non-athletic counterparts.

 - Physical activity is an effective tool for reducing the symptoms of stress and depression among girls.

Although many of these studies focused on adolescent, high school, collegiate athletes, if young girls fail to play in their younger years, it is unlikely they will be able to compete at these higher levels because of lack of experience and skill. So, it is important that parents and girls begin thinking about playing sports at age 6 or 7yr.
