UKCA appreciate this has been a long bumpy road so far and we want to continue to offer the best level of support possible to our cheerleading family, including clubs, coaches, athletes and volunteers, throughout these very difficult and challenging times.

Online course training and resources are readily available and we will also ensure that all active UKCA coaches receive links to relevant funding pots, free external training and useful toolkits that can be used to continue your personal development, for you and your athletes, which will help you to hit the ground running once the ‘Sport of Smiles’ can again ‘Return to Play’.
