Cheerleading
What is Cheerleading?
Cheerleading is an energetic and lively sport that combines music, dance, stunting and tumbling to create team routines that mesmerise audiences and judges around the world!
What if I’ve never done Cheerleading before?
All Members start with the basics – simple arm motions, jumps and chants designed to allow everyone to learn small routines and combinations. After some practice, the routines get more and more complex, with tumbles and stunts added to the routines as well!
What is the class structure like in Cheerleading? Will I be by myself?
Cheerleading classes all begin with a 15 minute floor warm-up, before being assigned to a Cheerleading group with a AAAsports Coach. Groups will be taught a variety of skills, based on their ability level – the groups will change often, so sometimes there’s just a couple of Members working together, sometimes it’s the whole class performing a giant routine! At the end of the class, all Members return to the floor area for a 15 minute cool-down.
How many Members are there in a group?
In Cheerleading, group sizes vary depending on the routine being performed. Groups can be as small as 5 or as large as 50!
Will I achieve any awards?
Every 6-8 weeks, the AAAsports Coaches will assess each member in their group against the British Gymnastics Spirit Award scheme. Members who can demonstrate the skills and routines required on each award to a good standard will pass their award! For more information on our Award Schemes, click here.
Can I take part in any competitions?
Each year Members are able to take part in the AAAsports Championships, which is a fun, friendly event for Members to demonstrate the skills they have learned throughout the year, and everyone who takes part receives a medal and certificate! AAAsports also have their own competitive Cheerleading Squads who compete locally and nationally – these Squads are by invitation only, but all Members are closely monitored to determine suitability for these Squads.
