The recruiting network for college cheer

Every athlete scored on the same rubric. Every coach verified before they see a name.

CheerForward sits between college programs and the athletes who want them — evaluating talent against a published standard so coaches can trust what they're reading and athletes get seen for what they can actually do.

Free for college programs, always. 230 athletes rated · 87 programs verified.

The CF Rating

One number out of 100, built from twelve scored components. It is never entered by hand — an evaluator scores each component and the total follows from them, so the figure a coach reads is the figure the athlete earned.

Safety is our top priority

Coaches are verified people

Every coach account is reviewed by CheerForward staff and tied to a real college program before it can see a single athlete.

Parents approve minors

An athlete under 18 stays hidden until a parent or guardian approves the account. Consent can be withdrawn at any time, and the profile hides again immediately.

Money never touches a score

Paying for an evaluation buys the evaluation, never a better result. Rankings and badges come from the rubric and nothing else.
