Cheerleading Society

Cambridge University Cheerleading Society (Cambridge Lions) is open to everyone with enthusiasm and spirit. Cheerleading is a combination of stunting (lifts and throws), tumbling and dance that is easy to learn but requires strength, co-ordination, and agility to master. 

We compete nationally, and in an annual Varsity against O*ford. Both teams are very successful, being consistent Varsity champions. We have a Level 3 co-ed tumbling team ‘the Blues’ (the highest level a uni team can compete in the UK), and a Level 2 co-ed non-tumbling team. We also occasionally perform, both low-key performances for friends and at the Varsities of other sports, such as American Football. Both teams train separately twice a week. For L2 this is at the University Sports Centre, for L3 this is once at the sports centre and once at a cheer gym in Ely (transport provided) where we also train as a full team once a month. 

We do not require any previous experience, but a background in dance or gymnastics is a bonus. We encourage all students (undergrad or postgrad) who might be interested to come along to our taster sessions and tryouts at the start of term; we promise you’ll love it!
