SuperCDA’s contributions and innovations date back to the mid-80s & early-90s when a handful of creative souls took the blank canvas of our sport and laid the visual foundation of what many enjoy now.

Specifically here in Illinois & the Midwest, Derek was the first to provide professional choreography for hire.

He was the innovator of the fast-paced style we continue to replicate today as well as the first to incorporate highly complex visual effects.

Even stunts and transitions that have been recycled with contemporary names were already introduced decades ago by original artists like D.

SuperCDA choreography pricing begins at $300/athlete and can be scaled back based on your budget and needs and will vary based on SuperCDA staff availability.

Coaching Philosophy:

I strive to kindle a deep love for the sport with our athletes. My philosophy involves nurturing an environment that encourages passion, enthusiasm and confidence. I do this by instilling a sense of self-belief and fostering an environment where they feel empowered to perform. I prioritize fostering good sportsmanship. For me, how we play the game is just as important as the outcome. I aim to nurture athletes who maintain optimism and positivity, even in challenging circumstances. I advocate for a growth mindset. I emphasize the importance of the process, believing that focusing on the journey fosters long-term improvement, regardless of the immediate results.

Coaching Philosophy

“Through my professional life spanning over two decades with this sport and exclusively with SuperCDA as an athlete, coach and now Partner in the company, I maintain a passion for tradition, history and representation to continue being woven into the experiences we provide at SuperCDA. While we continue to push the boundaries of innovation in our coaching, creative productivity and unique offerings, it is very important to me that we stay true to the roots of who we are and have been since Derek first took his place in Illinois Cheer History back in the 80’s paving the way for everything the thousands of athletes since have enjoyed through his influences building the foundation of what we have today with the sport in our state. SuperCDA has never just been a place or a job for me. It has a direct correlation to who I’ve grown into as an adult. That connection became family to me and changed the trajectory of my entire life. I strive to keep that door of opportunity open to any athlete we coach to experience and enjoy our world as much as I have all these years. I strive to one day pass the torch to the next generation of Super leaders to have their turn at carrying on this legacy.”

Coach Phil

SuperCDA History

Moore, affectionately known as Coach (Phil) FEEL, began his journey with SuperCDA at camp in 2009 during his junior year at St. Ignatius College Prep, marking the beginning of a lifelong connection. As the first male cheerleader, Phil’s passion was ignited that summer, quickly establishing himself as one of the most iconic performers in the State and beyond. He became a Super All Star in 2010 (Coed Level 3), 2011 (Coed Level 5), and 2017 (Open Coed 6). Phil’s talent didn’t stop there—he went on to choreograph some of the program’s most beloved dances, a contribution that continues to resonate with the SuperCDA community.

After graduating in 2011, Phil eagerly joined the summer camp staff, where he made a lasting impact by working with both high school and collegiate programs throughout the Midwest, most notably with 7-time State Champs, Lincoln Way East. His cheer career took him to The University of Akron and The University of Missouri (MIZZOU), but Phil’s professional journey extended beyond the mat. He embarked on a successful career in advertising, traveling from New York to LA, with many meaningful stops along the way. Despite his travels, Phil remained deeply connected to SuperCDA, often returning to Illinois to coach camps and choreograph routines, culminating in his permanent return in Summer 2024.

Outside of his coaching role, Phil is a distinguished Emmy and James Beard nominated producer and the founder of the FEELMOORE Collective, an artist collective and creative agency producing compelling content across photo, video, and design.

Coaching Philosophy

Coaching Philosophy: “My coaching philosophy is all about connecting the mind and the body, meeting the athlete wherever they are. I encourage athletes to take ownership of their mindsets and their progress. And this goes beyond cheerleading—it’s about coaching the whole athlete. Positivity is key. Walking into a Coach FEEL class or choreography session, you know you’re going to work hard and have fun doing it. Because when you feel good, you perform good. If I can instill even a fraction of the confidence and work ethic I received from SuperCDA, then I know that I’m doing my job.”
