We are looking forward to our Spring Championships, which are taking place at The Manchester Velodrome on Saturday the 16th and Sunday the 17th of May. You can find more information on both days of the competition by clicking here. Spectator tickets are also on sale via our online system, which can be found on our website. However, entries for our Spring Championships 2015 have now closed, unless otherwise specified.

We are holding Tumbling courses this weekend, it’s great to see so many UKCA members learning new skills & growing their sporting knowledge on such a high level course. You can find our UKCA Cheerleading & coaching pathway on our website here, this will help to guide you through the different aspects of Cheerleading and allow you to realise which course you want to take. So, no matter your Cheerleading passion here at the UKCA, we have something for everyone.

The Clarets, Shooting Stars & Manni the Mascot are all cheering and supporting everyone at the Manchester Giants! Great cheer spirit guys, we are proud of you! It’s fantastic to see our UKCA members at sporting events keeping the atmosphere alive and fun! Such a great job, we hope you’re all having a fantastic day. We will be seeing more of the UKCA teams at our Spring Championships which are little more than a month away. Keep up the good work, keep training and we’ll see you in May!

We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming courses, competitions & the Spring Championships!

We are proud of you!

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!

Team UKCA.

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!

If you want to improve on your Cheer skills and make new friends, then sign up to one of our upcoming courses now! We have an online ‘Course Finder’ which is brilliant for filtering the course suited best to you, or you can head to our site for our full course listings. The next UKCA course we’re holding is a Level 2 Cheerleading Basic Skills Course @ Deeside Leisure Centre on November the 27th! Click here to find out more.

All of our UKCA Coaching and Cheerleading courses run throughout the year, so make sure that you get involved with us and keep cheering!

Cedars Academy Basic Cheer Skills Course

October 29, 2014 by UKCA Admin

Are you thinking about engaging with one of our available Cheerleading courses?

Well if so, here is a fantastic sneak peak at what goes on at our course based events! We have some behind the scenes footage from the Level 2 Cheerleading Basic Skills @ Cedars Academy – Basic Cheer Skills Course on 28th October in Bedfordshire. Our courses can range through from small teams to larger groups of Cheerleaders and coaches. It simply depends on the area and which course we are running. As you can see from these photos this was a rather busy course! However, this does not mean that you will miss out being in a large group, as during all courses we help and guide our Cheerleaders to make sure that everybody is at the same level. Instead, this just means that you have the opportunity to meet more Cheerers!

Courses are a fantastic way to broaden your skills and learn more moves which can be incorporated into routines with your squad, or alone. You will also be able to help others on your team due to the extra training which you have received. It is always best to keep up with your training and skills with us here at The UKCA, as it will work to enhance your talents within Cheerleading.

Overall, we highly suggest you sign up to our courses to keep your moves as fresh as possible. It is also a fantastic way to move and progress into different areas of Cheering. For example, if you specialise in pom dance but would like to move into street cheer, then you can use our courses to your advantage to do so!

So don’t just take our word for it, take a look at these pictures and get involved in the fun coming to you soon!

Street Cheer Course @ Northfield School

October 3, 2014 by UKCA Admin

Are you thinking about entering a Street Cheer course near you?

Well if you are considering entering a course to raise your Cheerleading skills the you will enjoy this post as we are discussing a course which we held recently. We held a Street Cheer course last weekend at Northfield School & Sports College, Thames Road Billingham TS22 5EG.

These were the courses which we held last weekend:
26/09/14 Street Cheer Basic Skills @ Northfield School
27/09/14 Street Cheer Leadership Award @ Northfield School

This small group of Cheerleaders on this course is a great way for you to learn. When our classes are small it means that you can be trained better, and this is also really fun for those involved as everyone gets to know each other better! And, as you can see from the pictures throughout this post everyone had lots of fun!

So if you want to participate in a course with us, whether Street Cheer or any other area of Cheerleading, then get in contact with us here for more information on our Upcoming Courses. Be sure to click on each section of our courses on the website for more information!

Our courses cover mixed practical theory and we also teach our mission statement which is:

““To provide a channel for health and social education through Cheerleading to all young people regardless of sex, class, creed, culture, race or physical limitations.”

So no matter who you are, or what you are interested in The UKCA is here waiting for you to get involved!

See you at the Winter Championships!
