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. 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. 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 cheer coach who needed a faster way to plan transitions between practice sessions. Every feature exists because it solved a real coaching problem.
