Street Cheer Leadership Course – Highlights

July 28, 2017 by UKCA Admin

At the start of this month UKCA hosted a fantastic Street Cheer Leadership Course in Newcastle, and all the fun was caught on video!

The one-day course included a mix of practical and theory work, covering areas such as Health & Safety, Communication, Motivation, Team Building and Leadership Skills necessary to assist the delivery of Cheerleading activities under the guidance of a Qualified Coach.

Successful participants received a Leadership certificate of qualification enabling them to assist their Coaches. Amazing!

Watch the highlights from the course below:

We’d like to thank UKCA’s Development Coordinator, Anna Melling, for putting the highlights together, we think it gives a fantastic insight on the fun and education to be had on a UKCA Course!

If you are interested in attending a UKCA Street Cheer Course we currently have 3 upcoming dates in our diary:

Street Cheer Basic Skills @ Newcastle upon Tyne – 08/10/2017

Street Cheer Leadership Award @ Newcastle upon Tyne – 10/12/2017

Stunting Workshops With UKCA

July 24, 2016 by UKCA Admin

On the 10th and 11th September 2016 we’ve got two amazing one day stunt workshops coming up.

Both courses will be delivered by top international coaches to ensure that you get the best possible training available. As with all UKCA courses and workshops there will be a mixture of practical and theory based teaching to help you get a good feel for stunting and hopefully learn a lot. If you would like to book onto the course, book now to avoid disappointment as there are only limited spaces available.

You can book on and find more information about the stunting workshops at https://ukca.org.uk/coaching_courses/stunt-workshop-11/

Of course if the stunting workshop isn’t for you then there are plenty of other courses throughout the year in other areas of the sport. All of our courses that we are holding throughout the year can be found here https://ukca.org.uk/education/upcoming-courses/.
You can also use the Education Pathway to help you find the course thats right for you and take the next steps on your Cheerleading journey https://ukca.org.uk/education/pathway/.

We hope to see you soon

A Busy, Inspiring Week

April 15, 2016 by UKCA Admin

As always there is plenty to talk about at the UKCA. As we continue preparations for the upcoming UKCA Spring Championships in May, we have seen coaching courses and even an inspirational talk from Official UKCA Ambassador Vicky Howarth at a Manchester Community Group.

Earlier this week a group of UKCA Cheerleaders took part in a leadership course in Chorley as part of their development in the sport and we managed to get some pictures of them in action!

We hope you all had a great time and learnt plenty!

Joining a UKCA course helps Cheerleaders to improve and develop skills in an encouraging environment that helps the next generation of Cheerleaders feel confident and inspired by the sport. If you would like to take the next step on your Cheerleading journey find a course that’s right for you at ukca.org.uk/education/upcoming-courses/.

UKCA Ambassador Vicky Howarth, is someone whose sporting journey has been an inspiration to everyone at the association and recently she shared her story as she gave a very inspiring speech to a community group in Wythenshaw, Manchester. She spoke about how she has overcome her extremely rare condition that causes the degeneration of sight which has led to her becoming a National Champion at the Riding for the Disabled Association National Competition 2015 as well as achieving amazing results in her equestrian career winning over 300 1st place rosettes in National equestrian competitions. In addition to her horse riding achievements Vicky has become a dedicated member of the Cheerleading association and coaches a number of teams in Manchester. UKCA have supported Vicky throughout her journey as a Cheerleader and sportswoman, her commitment at competitions and events is amazing and she also gives others a helping hand.

After the talk Vicky received this letter thanking her for inspiring talk and wishing her luck for the future. UKCA are extremely proud and privileged to work with Vicky. We are proud of you, say we are proud of you!
