If you’ve done Cheerleading at a UK University you’ll recognise a lot of the competitions we attend as well! We just compete in All Star divisions against other All Star teams

 

CAN YOU STILL BE A CHEERLEADER WITH NO EXPERIENCE?

We have also added a Level Up! team which has been introduced specifically support athletes trasition to higher levels.

CAN I CHEER AFTER UNIVERSITY?

PLEASE DO! Ultimate Cheer was started because we wanted to create an adult-only team where graduates could join and enjoy the same sociable feel that they had on their University team, socials and all! We now have teams for all ages, split by age so that no one will ever feel too old or young for the team they are on.

 

IS CHEERLEADING AN AMERICAN THING?

Not anymore! Yes, typically it has been much bigger in America but Cheerleading is growing in the UK, FAST. Competitions here are huge with so many teams in each division and they’re still growing. If you’re keen for that American feel though, Ultimate Cheer will get the opportunity to compete in the biggest Cheerleading competition, Cheerleading Worlds which takes place in Disney World Florida!!

 

IS CHEER A HARD SPORT?

Yes and no. The beauty of Cheerleading is that it’s split into levels, meaning you can start from any ability and there is no limit to your progression! You can always keep improving your skills to be the best you can be and Ultimate Cheer has enough teams that you can move as you progress to ensure you’re always pushing yourself

 

WHAT IS TUMBLING?

Tumbling is the floor aspect of gymnastics, think flips, cartwheels and somersaults! These can be so fun to learn and impressive to show off! We have both tumble and non-tumble teams which you can compete on depending on your experience. We also have additional specific tumble-focused classes if you want to speed up your tumbling progression!

WHAT MAKES A GOOD CHEERLEADING ROUTINE?

Each routine involves a dance, jump, stunt and pyramid sequence. These will all be scored differently based on the difficulty of skills you attempt and also your accuracy when performing these skills at competition. Lucky for Ultimate Cheer we have coaches that have been Cheerleading judges in all positions across the country, meaning we know the score sheet inside out when curating the ULTIMATE Cheerleading routine!

 

I’M NOT FLEXIBLE, CAN I STILL BE A CHEERLEADING?

100% Many athletes join who think they aren’t flexible and Cheerleading will help everyone become more flexible.

You will also stay motivated as a group with the Ultimate Cheer community cheering you on and sharing each others improvements!
