This weekend brought round the first official UKCA Championships of 2016 and what a weekend it was! As expected the weekend kicked off in typical UKCA fashion with lots of infectious cheering and dancing.

The weekend saw routines from Tiny Teenies, Teenies, Junior and Senior Cheerleaders in both Cheerleading and Stunting categories, Cheer Dance routines, Street Cheer performances, Pom Dance and of course the Freestylers! As always the standard was very high and the level of support from everybody over the weekend was exceptional.

We love seeing our competitors supporting each other throughout the Championships, after all that is what it’s all about, having fun and making friends through the Sport. Congratulations to this years winners of the Milano Spirit Award their unwavering positivity throughout the comp and their unmissable cheer spirit was felt everywhere! We are proud of you, say we are proud of you!

UKCA would like to thank everybody who was involved in the event including competitors, coaches who prepare our teams, parents who give their support, our wonderful volunteers and judges.
