The UCLan Tigers Cheerleading Squad was founded in April 2007 and has since seen huge growth into one of the most successful clubs at UCLan. Cheerleading is a team-based sport that is relatively new in the UK. If you enjoy developing new skills, teamwork, and performance then this is the sport for you.
UCLan Tigers is suitable for both all genders, with no experience necessary. While we cater for all abilities, we ask for a high level of hard work, dedication, and commitment from every single member.
It’s not all work though! We promise that you will make friends for life though our fortnightly drinking/non-drinking socials, collaborating with other sports teams and our awareness/ charity fundraising events.
We pride ourselves on having something for everyone, if this sounds like it is for you then come and meet the team at Sports Fair on Wednesday 27th September
*please do not sign up for membership until after try-outs have taken place as this will determine membership price*
