Yorkshire Coast Cheerleading Team Could be Heading for World All Stars

East Coast Tigers Cheerleading Team has won a bid to compete at the All Star Cheerleading Competition 2024 in Florida against teams from The United Kingdom and the Rest of the World.

East Coast Tigers attended their second competition of the season last weekend, the Cheer City Allstar Championships in Nottingham.

All 9 of their competitive teams competed in their respective divisions and all 9 teams achieved 1st place.

The Youth 1, Junior 2 and Senior 2 teams also achieved Grand Champion titles, meaning they had the highest score of their session. At the end of the weekend the Youth level 1 team achieved the highest score of the whole weekend, a massive 95.47% and they were rewarded with a bid to compete at the Allstar World Championships in Florida next May.

Head Coach Jess Mortimer said:

“We had a clean sweep in Nottingham, which is just amazing, we didn’t expect it at all!

Every single one of our athletes gave their absolute best and we are so proud of them for their fantastic results.

To top off an already amazing weekend with a bid to the Allstar Worlds I’m Florida is just incredible - we can’t believe it!”

The Youth Level 1 team is made up of athletes aged 9-11 and is coached by Liv Hall and Sophie Lever.

“We are blown away that our Youth team received the bid and we really hope to be able to fundraise enough to take them to compete in Florida next year. It would be the trip of a life time!”

East Coast Tigers next competition is the beginning of May in Sheffield, and they are already back in the gym working on routine upgrades to hopefully keep up with their amazing results.

Jess adds:

"This is an amazing opportunity for our youth team to be invited to compete against the best cheerleading teams from the United Kingdom and the rest of the World to compete at the Allstar World cheerleading Championship in Floria in 2024.

For participants, it is the highest honour to be invited to the one international All Star competition that brings the most amazing athletes to one floor. This annual celebration is dedicated to the skill, athleticism, determination and passion that is shared in All Star cheer."
