Competitive Teams
BCU Tigers offer the opportunity to compete at two competitions a year, with 4 competitive teams available: Level 2 Stunt, Pom, Jazz and HipHop! You can attend give-it-a-go sessions in September to find out whether any of our competitive teams are for you! Stunt cheerleading is taught by an experienced and qualified coach. Our Pom team and Jazz team have both previously gained the title of National Champions by placing 1st at Future Cheer University Nationals! Our Pom team 2022 also achieved this title at ICC University Nationals!! Our Hip-hop team was new this year and did amazing at ICC University Nationals, placing third!
Varsity Squad
If competing isn’t for you, we also offer weekly recreational cheer sessions. This is our Varsity squad who perform at half time of one of the last sports games of the season. If performing isn't for you, you are also welcome to come along to the recreational sessions to learn new skills, take part in fitness sessions, try out stunting, dance with poms, and make amazing new friends!
Wednesdays
Every Wednesday, we cheer for the different sports teams at their weekly games and also host amazing socials! Each social has a different theme to keep them exciting and fun, and every sports team at BCU joins in. Our main fundraiser each year is a huge themed event and a night you won’t forget, definitely something to look forward to! We also offer sober socials as well such as meals out, movie nights or visits to the German Market. Socials are a great way to have fun and get to know other people, whilst making so many memories that will make your university experience!
