The start of a new year is the perfect time to reset your coaching foundations. Whether you are refining stunt progressions, building safer sessions, or supporting athletes to develop cleaner tumbling basics, the right structure makes a difference. UKCA education is built to support safe progression, clear planning, and confident coaching across the UK cheer community.

Buckley Skills Weekend, 10 and 11 January 2026
This weekend at Buckley Leisure Centre includes two coach focused Foundation courses.

On Saturday 10 January, Foundation Stunts Skills runs from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. The course is predominantly practical, supported by key theory, and covers stunt technique, progressions, coaching skills, session structure, and safety.

On Sunday 11 January, Foundation Tumbling Skills runs from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. This course introduces tumbling for cheerleaders and includes coaching skills, planning, safety, and core foundation elements such as forward roll, handstand, cartwheel, and round off.

Who can attend

Both Foundation courses require a UKCA qualification of at least Level 2 Foundation Cheerleading or Basic Skills Cheerleading. If you want to attend but do not currently hold the prerequisite qualification, please email UKCA admin at admin@ukca.org.uk.
