The National Community Championships took place at Manchester Velodrome last weekend, showcasing the vast development of cheerleading within the UK.

This year we saw 179 performances, with over 1600 cheerleaders competing, it was also the first time the UKCA has run a competition with a double judging panel. We saw some very impressive performances in all 3 of the categories, Cheerleading, Group Stunt and Pom Dance, from our Tiny Teenies divisions, where some competitiors were as young as 3 years old, all the way up to our Masters, some of who were over the age of 60!

The atmosphere in the arena was electric with the 1000’s of cheerleaders, coaches and spectators all being entertained by not only the amazing performances that were on the floor but also the wonderful MC’s who kept the energy up throughout the day, even after 10 hours of work!

Many thanks to everyone who came whether it was as a competitor, volunteer, spectator or coach, without you we would not have been able to run such a fantatsic event! WE ARE PROUD OF YOU, SAY WE ARE PROUD OF YOU!
