Description

Welcome to the Lancaster Roses Cheerleading Squad!

Cheerleading is a fun, competitive team sport that incorporates stunting, dance, jumps and gymnastics into an intense 2.5-minute routine.  As a society, we train all year to compete at various regional and national championships against other university teams across the UK! 

Cheerleading is a physically demanding sport but is also a lot of fun and a great way to make friends, keep fit and represent the university at prestigious national competitions.  Our teams train twice a week for 2 hours throughout terms one and two in preparation for competitions as well as having weekly socials. We also offer extra open sessions to allow for extra training and working on aspirational skills.

We welcome students of all abilities, whether you have cheered before, have a gymnastics or dance background, or have never tried it before, check out our video on our social media to see if cheerleading interests you! Most of our members are new to the sport but are trained in all aspects in order to develop their skills to reach their maximum potential.

 

The Lancaster Roses is comprised of 5 squads; 1 development team, 3 competitive stunt team and 1 competitive pom dance team.

Development Team

Our Development team Rose Quartz is open to anyone of all abilities to join and get involved with cheer.

Stunt Squads

Lancaster Roses is made up of 3 stunts squads;

• Pearl (Level 1)
• Ruby (Level 2 Non Tumble)
• Onyx (Level 3 Co-ed)

Our stunt squads, on the other hand, perform a combination of stunts, tumbles, jumps and dance. Each stunt group is combined of a single flyer, two bases and a back spot who work together to perform a variety of mounts and tosses. Each squad varies by level, with each level increasing the degree of difficulty in the range of stunts and tumbles it incorporates.

 

Pom Dance

Diamond is our Co-Ed Pom Dance Squad. Pom dance is a dance genre that incorporates a variety of dance skills into a fast-paced dynamic dance routine performed with poms.  Characteristics of a pom routine include clean and precise motions and dance technique.  Diamond has consistently won their division at competitions, coming home with plenty of National Champion titles over the last few seasons.
