Welcome to Our Team
General information
Southwark Tigers Cheerleaders are the 1st and only cheerleading squad in Southwark. Throughout the year, we train to perform at local and national events, and to represent the London Borough of Southwark. Our Cheerleaders of all ages have lots of fun, learning dance routines, chants, stunts, cheering, taking part in parades and making friends.
We work hard to make opportunities available for our members to enjoy cheerleading - performing, competing and achieving at all levels.
Cheerleaders can take progressive dance examinations adjudicated by an examiner from the International Dance Teachers Association [ IDTA].
Older Cheerleaders [ 14+] can be assessed to undertake the Duke of Edinburgh Award at Bronze, Silver and Gold Level.
Our club is affiliated to the Southwark Tigers Community Sports Club and is a registered charity. All our staff work voluntarily and exhaustingly, giving up their time and expertise for the good of the club. All voluntary staff are police checked[CRB] are NCSSE qualified Cheerleading Coaches. Our club is financially independent and we work hard at fundraising to facilitate the many events our cheerleaders take part in and further, to keep costs to families to a minimum.
We expect our cheerleaders to be committed to attend our training sessions in order to build upon our strong and dedicated team.
