We love it when we see reports on the successes of our cheer teams.

St. Michael’s Primary School in Flixton and Ashton On Mersey High School in Sale feature on the Trafford Community Leisure Trust website.

Both teams, St. Michael’s Explosion and Ashton Tigers, had massive success over the weekend and it’s always great to share cheerleading success with the rest of the community.

A massive thank you must go out to all the teachers and parents who trained and supported their teams and made the UKCA School’s Championship a weekend full of talent.
