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!

Last year we saw fantastic talent from all of our Cheerleaders and coaches. The routines are precision just keeps on improving year on year! Not only are all of the UKCA members fantastic but so are all of our spectators and supporters who turn up at all of our events and cheer on each and every squad – you really make a difference! All of our volunteers and those who work with the Teenage Cancer Trust who dedicate their entire weekends to lending a hand and giving their full support, bring an absolutely amazing aspect to the day. 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.

Host a Course in 2015!

January 23, 2015 by UKCA Admin

We often receive queries surrounding courses across The UK & NI. We organise many courses however, if you are struggling to source an event near you then you can easily host a course. This is a fantastic way to boost your qualifications within your Cheer squad, which then allows you to compete at a higher level in our competitions which run throughout the year.

If this sounds like something you would be interested in doing then please do not hesitate to contact us here. You only need a minimum of 10 people on your course for it to go ahead. To host a closed course means that you will source the entrants, however, an open course will allow people to book & register their attendance. It is up to you which kind of course you would like to hold. The maximum amount of people who can attend your event is 30, unless another number is agreed with The UKCA when booking.

We will support your event completely by providing promotional posters for you & emailing them over to you in advance of your course. Please be aware that if your course involves tumbling & stunting you must make sure that you have the appropriate mats and gymnastic equipment at your venue. This is important in regards of safety for all involved. Lunch is an important aspect of the day which must be organised. You’ll need to let people know whether they need to bring food with them or if there are facilities at your chosen venue.

Hosting a course is a great way to utilise your organisational skills & help others in the UKCA build on their talents.

Level 4 Course in Manchester

November 17, 2014 by UKCA Admin

This weekend we had great success at our Level 4 Courses held in Manchester. The event was held at Wright Robinson College, Manchester and was a roaring success! The course was ran fantastically by several volunteer Cheerleaders, and all participants of the course passed which was a fantastic achievement for all involved.

Everyone’s success was particularly special as the Level 4 courses are so advanced, requiring such a high level of skill, yet all of our UKCA members passed – so a big congratulations is due for you ladies! The Level 4 course teaches a large variety of skills and moves throughout Cheerleading. We have some lovely images of the talented Cheerers themselves having a lovely weekend!

We always love to have fun at our events, and it’s great for Cheerleaders to meet others and teach their skills. By working as a team we can see that this really works to bring members of The UKCA together!
