  Cheerleading Explained  
 

Cheerleading is about a lot more than just waving pom-poms!

It’s an intense mix of dance and gymnastics where teamwork is as important as the skills of the individual. Add to this the pumping music and the atmosphere on match days and you have a truly unique, adrenaline-packed sport.

Cheerleading in the UK is booming, and the British Cheerleading Association has grown to over 300 squads and organise competitions all over the country each year.
