Welcome to CWY CHEER-
“Where small town meets big spirit!
Serving Camas & Washougal, WA, CWY Cheer inspires athletes from their very first chant, all the way to High School Cheer Tryouts.
We are proud to offer Sideline Basketball Cheer for k-8th grade. We are partnered with Camas Youth Basketball (CYBL) to give a full season of cheerleading to athletes on the sidelines of Camas Basketball Games.
CWY also hosts skill-building Clinics, Camps, and unique opportunities to grow into our award-winning competitive program, Inferno Cheer. Whether your child is brand new to cheer or looking to take their skills to the next level, CWY Cheer is the perfect place to shine.
Why Families Love CWY Cheer:
✅ All Skill Levels Welcome – No experience needed, No Try Outs! We teach the fundamentals and help athletes grow at their own pace.
✅ Build Confidence & Teamwork – Cheer teaches life skills that last long after the season ends.
✅ Fun, Positive Environment – High-energy practices and performances that keep kids motivated and engaged.
✅ Clear Pathway for Growth – At CWY Cheer, every athlete has a clear pathway to grow and shine. Many start with the excitement and community spirit of Sideline Cheer, where they build confidence, make friends, and cheer at local games. As their skills develop, they can advance into High School Cheer or join our very own award‑winning Inferno Competitive Teams to take on fun stunts, tumbling, and advanced cheer techniques. Some cheerleaders love sideline so much that they stay for years, while others enjoy balancing both sideline and competitive cheer at the same time. Whatever their age, skill level, or goals, we offer something for everyone at every stage of their cheer journey.
✅ Community Connection – Athletes cheer right here at local games & events, making memories for the whole family. We are proud members of the community. CWY Cheerleaders also get the chance to walk in the Washougal Christmas Parade every season!

“Crista became my cheer coach when I decided to pick cheer back up in the 5th grade. She truly brought back my love for cheerleading and was the most understanding, patient, and hard working coach. Coach Crista always pushes to make her cheerleaders better and stronger while also finding ways to build relationships with her cheerleaders. She found ways to help boost our confidence leading up to high school cheerleading and would work with us to make us the best we could possibly be before trying out. I truly believe she is the reason I am the cheerleader I am today, no words can express how thankful I am for getting the chance to have Crista as a cheer coach. I want more kids to experience what I did while working with Coach Crista because she truly does make so many people love cheerleading”

“My daughter had the pleasure of being on a team with Coach Crista for several years. One of the things we loved most about having Crista as a coach was her ability to connect with each girl individually. She takes the time to understand their unique strengths and areas for improvement, providing tailored guidance that helps them grow both as athletes and as individuals.
Crista not only teaches the girls the skills they need to excel in cheerleading, but she also emphasizes the importance of teamwork and sportsmanship. Every practice is filled with laughter and encouragement, creating an environment where the girls feel safe to take risks and push themselves.
As a parent, it's heartwarming to see the positive impact Crista has had on my daughter. She comes home excited to share what she’s learned and eager to practice her routines.
In a world where youth sports can sometimes become overly competitive, Crista manages to strike the perfect balance between hard work and fun. We are incredibly fortunate to have CWY Inferno in our town!”

“Crista was a cheer coach for all three of my daughters. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, her ability to adapt her coaching strategy to the individual needs of her cheerleaders is amazing. She manages to be an effective teacher while fully supporting each cheerleaders unique style and abilities. I loved working with Crista, her positivity and can-do attitude are absolute blessings to anyone she comes in contact with. My girls gained an immense amount of knowledge from working with Crista, she even set aside time to work with my girls when they were getting ready for high school cheer tryouts to give them individual pointers and personalized advice. Thank you Crista for all that you do, we have been blessed by you and all your hard work.”
