It’s been a busy first half of 2016 at UKCA. We’ve held 4 competitions and most recently we were lucky enough to go to the European Cheerleading Championships in Koper, Slovenia where the UK teams were phenomenal. We’ve also held a whole host of courses across the country that have helped our future cheerleaders progress their skills. The outstanding start to the year has us feeling very inspired about the future and we are sure you are too.

There is plenty to get involved in at the UKCA that not only help to progress your career within the sport, but also have benefits beyond Cheerleading. We’ve put together a quick list of just some of the things you can throw yourself into with the UKCA if you’re feeling inspired too!

Stand Up to Bullying

Next Tuesday sees the launch of a national anti bullying campaign ‘Stand up to bullying‘.

www.standuptobullying.co.uk

As an organisation that actively promotes team work and mutual respect, UKCA will dedicate next Tuesday to this project and would like your Cheerleaders involved

Your team can be part of this national campaign launch………

We’d like teams to record a short clip of your Cheerleaders literally ‘standing up’ to bullying please in any way you think appropriate?

I’m sure you will come up with creative choreography whilst putting across this strong message.

Feel free cheer, chant, rap, use poms, sign boards and add a visual effect including a stunt or two if you desire. A visible UKCA sign board or logo would really be appreciated.

Just share the clip on social media and tag it with #StandUpToBullying & #ukca before Monday at 6pm and we will share on social media throughout Tuesday.

Thank you in anticipation of your support.
