Cheerleading
Cheerleading is an athletic
discipline practised worldwide and incorporating jumps, dance,
tumbling, stunts, cheers and chants under the 3 distinct
activities:
* Cheerleading
* Cheer Dance
* Pom Dance
UKCA are proud to announce the new
4th discipline of Cheerleading - Street Cheer (An exciting fusion
of Street Dance & Cheerleading)
Which Organisation do British
Gymnastics Endorse?
The Governing Body for Cheerleading
is the United Kingdom Cheerleading Association (UKCA) who, from
January 2008 have been working in partnership with British
Gymnastics to transfer its activities to become a new discipline of
British Gymnastics. Please note that their are various cheerleading
organisations so please do not presume that they are UKCA trained.
If you are wishing to check that a coach you employ or work with is
UKCA trained then please ask for a) a copy of their certificate b)
their UKCA number and c) where they took the course. If you need
further verification then please email myself. As a representative
of English Gymnastics I am happy to support any projects that
follow the UKCA framework.
