Welcome to the Hellcats!
Cheerleading is a fantastic way to exercise while having fun in a team-bonding sport. We are a co-ed level 1 team and there is no level of experience required as we all learn the skills and routines together. There is no need to be perfect at every skill, you are able to focus on what suits you best and excel in that. We learn incredible skills such as stunts, tumbling and dancing which all go towards a killer routine for showcases and competitions. Alongside the physicality, cheerleading is about building strong friendships and a supportive community.
Cheerleading is open to anyone, we will be glad to welcome you! We pride ourselves in our inclusivity which means no matter your size, background, experience or fitness level, sexual orientation or religion you are always welcome in the team. We know the cheerleading uniform might not appeal to everyone but we will always work with you to make sure you feel comfortable in your body.
Please come in comfy gym-appropriate wear and trainers. Bring water! Hydration is key!
Training times are Fridays from 5:00-7:30pm in W40.
Membership is £65 for the year which covers the cost of our coached sessions, two competition fees and a club tshirt.
Our new uniform is a one-off fee of £77 and payment is due by October. You can choose to pay this in one go with the membership fee or pay later in October.
