Our
squad is based Leicester, England. If you do not live in Leicester
it would be better to find a squad that is closer to where you do
live. If you live in the U.K. visit the B.C.A.
website which should help you find a squad near you. |
| Is
there a risk of injury being a cheerleader ? |
Like
all sports that require intense activity there will always be a
risk of injury. This can be reduced by proper training with
a qualified cheerleading coach. |
| Do
you have to be physically fit for cheerleading ? |
Not
necessarily, however the more you train the stronger and more
confident you will become.
Most
squads will have different levels of skill. By improving
your level of physical fitness you will find you will enjoy
your cheerleading more.
Do
not be put off joining a squad because you don't think you can do
it. Go ahead surprise yourself. |

join a squad will I have to take part in competitions ? |
