28 New UKCA Coaches To Qualify This Weekend! #ThisGirlCan

March 13, 2015 by UKCA Admin

Here at the UK Cheerleading Association we are focussed on involving new and existing members with our educational training programmes. We train and coach thousands of UK based Cheerleaders across the Country. We really enjoy our courses, meeting new members and helping them to grow.

This is especially great in regards of our weekend courses which can be more intense as these are usually Level 4 training courses. Some of our more advanced classes can span over 4 days, these are great ways to expand your knowledge. Head over to our Coaching Pathway here and find the best option for you to take on your Cheerleading journey. We run an advanced Intermediate Stunts course once a year which is more instensive and requires a lot of resources. We’re looking to run more and more courses throughout the year.

So it’s great to announce that we are training 28 new UK Cheerleading coaches this weekend across the North West and the West Midlands. We are bringing more and more Cheerleaders and females lathes to the This Girl Can campaign. We also work in conjuction with many other sport and charity organisations such as Youth Sport Trust, Greater Sport, Sporting Promise, Manchester City Council, Halbro Sportswear and Milano. So if you want to get involved with the This Girl Can movement then enrol on a course with us now & start exercising with ‘The Sport of Smiles’.

Good luck to all our members who are training this weekend! We will see you all soon at the UKCA National Championships 2015 at the Manchester Velodrome.

We are proud of you!

We are proud of you!

The March Nationals at the Manchester Velodrome are always a big event for us here in the UK. We look forward to this competition each and every year. Plus all of the interaction which we have shared across our social media channels on Facebook, Twitter and here on our website has been outstanding. We can see how important the This Girl Can campaign has been to so many cheer leading teams across the country. It is a fantastic ongoing event to be a part of and we encourage you to keep on sending us your fantastic images from training and competitions.

July 11, 2014 by UKCA Admin

We had an absolutely fantastic time at the European Cheerleading Championships, what a great weekend! The talent and skill shown at each competition truly blew us away. We’d like to congratulate all of the competing squads and everybody who took part in the event. Not only the competitors themselves, but those who were there to join in the fun with us too! We always have such brilliant volunteers who work so hard at each event.

The categories were so impressive, Partner Stunt really stood out this year – wow! It’s incredible the level of skill you all have! Street Cheer was also brilliant with lots of creative costumes added into routines to maximise the stylistic dance routines. But, really we loved all the categories and you all worked that floor!

The hosts this year were wonderful and kept the whole arena buzzing with electricity! It was great to have resident DJ Caino and Jason along with their new team Lane and Vicky. Lane had such energy and Vicky’s singing really added a fun element to the day!

We had lots of fun making the, “My favourite thing about today…” video series featuring everyone from the Polish Cheerleaders, to the judges. Check them out on our Instagram account … Honestly, they will make you giggle!

Street Cheer goes into 32 Thomas Cook Holiday Resorts around the world

May 2, 2013 by UKCA Admin

We recently delivered a training course to staff members of the Holiday company Thomas Cook, here’s what they had to say about it (names and contact details have been removed for obvious reasons)

Hello Kim,

Hope that you are well?

Just wanted to send you an e mail to thank you again for what was a great training course in Mallorca, it was great to have you back involved in the Street Cheer training and to see the progression we have made. The entertainers who had that training gave really positive feedback about yourself the programme and the concept for the summer season. I think as discussed this will be a great way to deliver the Street Cheer programme this summer and we definitely have enthusiastic motivated staff to deliver this.

The training didn’t stop after you left, I saw the guys practicing the choreography whilst out on breaks and around the hotel. We also had a constant sound of chants throughout the closing presentation, finally finished off with a huge “we are PROUD of you”

Thank you once again.

Mit freundlichen Grüssen – Meilleures salutations – Met vriendelijke groeten – Best regards
