Joining a sports club in university is one of the best way of making new friends while stepping outside of your comfort zone! Cheerleading is a challenging and exciting sport that mixes dance, tumbles, and stunts to create a fast paced, high-impact routine. Whether you have no experience, or have been cheerleading for a while, there is a place for you on one of our teams. Worcester Sinners are looking for people of all abilities and skill levels to help us maintain the success of previous seasons.
This year is going to be bigger and better than any season before, with the number of teams increasing beyond what we imagined. For the 23/24 season we will be running our Level 2 Co-Ed stunt team (Royal), Level 1 All-Girl stunt team (Topaz), Competition pom team (Sapphires), and our new pom team (Opal). We are so excited to be able to offer these 4 teams to our members this year!
Training times:
Royal: Monday 6-8pm
Topaz: Tuesday 8-10pm
Sapphires: Thursday 8-10pm
Opal: Sunday 6-8pm
The beginning of our season will consist of basic cheer technique and will allow you to get to know your new team and cheer family. For future season, if you wish to take part in our club please keep an eye out on our instagram for give it a go sessions and tryout dates. Those successful will train each week in order to create a highly skilled, fast paced routine ready for competitions all around the UK! You are not limited to joining just a stunt team or a pom team. If you wish, you are allowed to partake in both stunt and pom, and will train with us several times a week.
If the sport doesn’t seem right for you, then join us as a social member! Socials are a great way to socialise and create friendships with others. Socials are held every Wednesday at our local club Tramps where we hire a room for the whole of the Cheerleading society. Each week we will have a theme to dress up as and our lovely Social Secs will plan fun games for us to take part in. As well as these socials, we like to hold sober socials in which we go bowling, go out for a meal or go to the cinema. You do not have to be part of the team to come to socials, invite your friends and flatmates and bring them along! Memberships for socials can be purchased all year round so it’s never too late to join!
Our social media accounts will be updated more frequently than ever this year! Instagram and Facebook are the best social media platforms to find any updates regarding cheer (@worcsinners). A significant improvement will be made on both our Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, where we will aim to post weekly updates of training through fun and exciting photos and reels. This will not always be cheer related, they will include other important subjects! Head over to our accounts now to check out our recent videos and posts!
We are always trying to improve the inclusivity focus of our team. Previously, we have arranged and took part in allyship workshops with BAME and LGBTQ+ Networks to encourage and enforce inclusivity throughout the club. We also took part in the #NeverOk campaign created by the SU. This year we would love to continue to work with student groups to become more inclusive than ever before. With help from our amazing Vice Chair Inclusivity and Promotion and behalf of the rest of the committee an inclusivity statement has been created (see below):
