Cheerleading is a great way to keep fit and involves a mixture of stunting, tumbling, acrobatics and dance. We will teach you everything you need to know, so don't worry about not having any experience if you are thinking of joining our club! In previous seasons we have placed first in several divisions, receiving 3 Grand Champion National titles, and last year receiving some of our highest scores to date! We are acitvely recruting for new members for the 23//24 season, and cannot wait to get the year started.
We offer a variety of teams that suit ALL abilities and encourage everyone to get involved. We have competitive teams which require a higher level of commitment and training, as well as the chance to perform at national competitions across the UK. These include 3 cheerleading teams and 2 dance teams. On top of these, we also have our game day team which is our largest team and gives you the opportunity to perform a coach lead routine at lots of university matches! We also have our Social Squad, which is completely inclusive and more relaxed while still allowing you to try all the elements of cheerleading from tumbling and jumps, to stunting and dance.
