FormationFlow vs CheerCraft

Plan formation transitions without your full team on the mat. FormationFlow is a visual choreography tool built for cheer coaches, dance directors, and performance teams. Place athletes on a court grid, arrange multiple formations, and preview smooth animated transitions — all from your iPad or iPhone. EXPORT A PRINTABLE PLAYBOOK (PRO) Turn the routine into a PDF your athletes can hold: one page per formation, transition paths drawn in, cover page with the team name. Print it, AirDrop it, pin it on the gym wall. WORKS ON IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC Plan at your desk on the Mac in the off-season, pull it up on your phone at practice. Same app, one purchase. PLAN FORMATIONS VISUALLY Drop athletes onto a scaled court grid. Drag to reposition. See your formations take shape in seconds, not hours. ANIMATE TRANSITIONS Preview how athletes move between formations with real-time playback. Adjust timing, add waypoints for curved paths, and set move delays for staggered entries. ROLE-BASED ATHLETES Assign roles — Base, Flyer, Spotter, Backspot, Tumbler, or Stunt Group — each with distinct color-coded markers so you can read your formation at a glance. CUSTOM TRANSITION PATHS Go beyond straight-line movement. Add waypoints to create curved paths, set hold durations at waypoints, and control smooth vs. sharp turns for each athlete. BUILD FULL ROUTINES Create multiple formations within a single routine. Reorder formations, duplicate them, and preview the entire sequence. FREE TO START Create up to 2 formations with Base athletes — no purchase required. FormationFlow Pro is a one-time purchase (no subscription) that unlocks unlimited formations, all athlete roles, full routine playback and PDF playbook export. WORKS OFFLINE No account required. No internet needed. Your data stays on your device — always private, always available. DESIGNED FOR COACHES FormationFlow was built by a coach at CheerForce San Diego, a 5x World Champion program, who needed a faster way to plan transitions between practice sessions. Every feature exists because it solved a real coaching problem on a real mat. Perfect for: - Cheerleading teams planning competition routines - Dance teams choreographing performances - Marching bands arranging field shows - Any performance group that moves in formation
