Competitive Cheer
Our competitive teams attend between 2 and 6 competitions a year.
Why competitive cheer? Cheer teaches life skills like nothing else! Not only will you get fit, you are part of a unit of athletes who depend on each other for safety in their routines.
You work together and are always aware and mindful of your actions for the benefit of others around you. This creates strong friendships and a shared sense of joy when you compete and are rewarded for your hard work and loyalty to one another.
Joining one of our competition teams is by invitation only, and athletes will be selected from our tryouts in summer after Nationals. Where we still have possible places on a team, we will also offer a 2 week free tryout during term time until the end of Autumn term. This would need to be to fit a need in the team (for example another flyer). Fun cheer can be joined at any point as it is non competitive.
Our next big tryouts (all teams, all positions) for the 25/26 season will be mid July 2025.
