Perfect for families looking to help their child grow in confidence while making new friends.

Our novice cheer teams are the first steps in competitive cheerleading. There is no entry level requirement for these teams.

These teams will attend 2 - 3 local friendly competitions which introduce them to the world of competitive cheerleading.

Our novice classes run at The Urban Factory (our HQ) and our Community Clubs. 

Our prep teams are perfect for budding athletes who want to take their cheerleading more seriously and start to become involved in the wider cheerleading community. 

Prep teams are our next step from novice and are more competitive, there is a requirement that you know some basic skills beforehand.
