2018 has been another fantastic year for UKCA competition. Already this year we’ve seen 4 fantastic UKCA events take place, showcasing some exceptional skill, Cheer spirit and most of all fun!

We started the season with the NI Schools’ and Club Championship 2018 in Antrim, Northern Ireland followed soon after by the UKCA National Championships 2018 in Manchester. May then saw UKCA hold it’s inaugural event at Belle Vue Sports Village in Manchester before returning to the National Cycling Centre in June for the UKCA National Schools’ Championships 2018. It’s fair to say it’s been an incredibly busy but also an immensely fun and exciting year so far! We’re now looking forward to the UKCA Winter Cheerleading Championships 2018 in December…AGES AWAY RIGHT?!

Don’t worry, we’ve created a section on our website to feed your Cheerleading cravings and keep you up-to-date with the UKCA competition action. The UKCA Videos section has all of the highlights, special performances and fun times from past UKCA competitions all in one place so you can get inspired, stay entertained, reminisce and maybe even spot you and your squad in action!

Just over a month after lighting up Belle Vue Sports Village at the UKCA Spring Championships 2018, the UKCA National Schools’ Championships 2018 returned to the National Cycling Centre in style.

In a fun-filled weekend, Schools from across the UK showcased their Cheerleading prowess over 2 days of top class competition and Cheer spirit. Cheer athletes from Key Stages 1,2,3,4 and 5 represented their schools in Cheerleading, Pom Dance, Disability Pom Dance and Urban Cheer categories, competing against other schools from across the nation.

As always our fantastic comperes guided us through the weekend introducing top performance after top performance and presented us with 2 Mascot Showdowns. At the end of each day the winners and runners up were revealed during the awards ceremony where 2 teams were presented with Spirit Awards for their exceptional displays of Cheer Spirit throughout the competition.

The winner of Saturday’s Gateley Spirit Award was Park View Tigers
