Have you entered the UKCA Winter Championship yet?

Make sure you submit your entry soon as entries for the Championship close on Friday 30th October 2015 – so don’t miss out! There’s still plenty of time to enter but don’t leave it too late.

It’s going to be an amazing competition this Winter! The UKCA will be back at the Manchester Velodrome again for an amazing weekend of Cheerleading. We can’t wait to spend 2 days in Manchester watching amazing performances from a range of teams from across the UK. The wide range of categories will allow for all Cheerleading talents and skills to be performed in different ways. Whether you are an expert in Street Cheer or Pom Dance, there will be a time for everyone to perform. Of course we’re looking forward to seeing those Freestyle moves, the improvised performances at UKCA Competitions are always incredible!

Remember when you want to enter your Club into a UKCA Competition you must first enter all of your Cheerleaders into our online system. To do this you can refer to our ‘How To: Use Our Club Management Tool’ here to guide you with the process. Also after you have completed this section you will need to add them into the Competition, so we have created a ‘How To: Enter A UKCA Competition’ to help you.

Have a brilliant weekend from all of us here at The UK Cheerleading Association.

We can’t wait to see you at the Winter Championship!

Team UKCA.

Exeter Cheer Festival is Next Weekend!

October 24, 2014 by UKCA Admin

Exeter Cheer Festival is coming your way!

We discussed in August that the competition would roll around soon and sure enough it really has! Next weekend a fantastic Cheerleading competition will take place! We discussed many important features of the Festival in our previous post from August 2014, such as:

“The youngest Cheerer involved in the Exeter Cheer Festival will be 7 years old. Whilst the Masters teams must have 75% of their squad at the age of 25. Here at The UKCA we enjoy the atmosphere at our events when we have such a wide range of cheerers. Whether you are 8 or 18 you are welcome to come along and cheer as we love to see so much spirit!”

However, we hope that you are all incredibly excited for your time there next weekend! We can’t wait! Here at The UK Cheerleading Association we love being involved with other relating events and organisations such as this one. It is so great and inspiring for us all to work together to help to promote each others events and get as many people involved as we all can. Afterall, Cheerleading is “The Sport of Smiles!” Make sure you head down if you love Cheerleading, want to have a brilliant weekend and meet more cheerleaders and those who are passionate about the sport! It is a great way for coaches to meet as well, so we recommend you take your squads down together for some fantastic Cheer networking!

So if you are heading down to The Exeter Cheerleading Festival next weekend then we hope you all have a fantastic time! And good luck to those performing!

Winter Championships 2014!

October 10, 2014 by UKCA Admin

Here at The UKCA we hold 5 competitions across each and every year!

There are many different reasons why we hold so many of these competitions but mainly it is for fun!

However, you do need to adhere to the UKCA rules and regulations at our competitions due to health and safety. Also, this ensures that all of our competitions are ran the same way and are fair. You can download the full document of the UKCA rules here on our website under the tab of competitions & rules. This is a handy document to have and we suggest that every member has a copy which they read and know well.

You also have to think about whether you are are eligible. Do you have insurance? That is key to competing with us. It is incredibly important to have yourself covered with insurance. Accidents are a rare occurrence, but you need to make sure that you have practices in place to help yourself! You must always take extra care when competing in a sporting event.

Also, coaches need to make sure that they prepare their teams and squads accordingly. It is important to note that there needs to be 1 coach in attendance for every 5 cheerleaders. This also can be solved by having helpers come along with you to assist in looking after your squad – this is paramount!

We don’t want to just talk to you about the rules side of the competition, we want you to have fun! But please keep in mind that these regulations are in place for a reason.

Thank you. Happy Friday & EAT, SLEEP, CHEER REPEAT!
