Cheer Faces On!!

Staffordshire University Scarlettes are a national competing, passionately driven cheerleading squad.
Training a minimum 3 times a week, The Scarlettes work on dance routines, stunting, gymnastics, cheering and of course, their cheer faces, in preparation towards their next major competition.
As well as training and competing, the Scarlettes also cheer regally for the universities American football team, The Stallions and often meet for social events.

The scarlettes practising there cheer routine in preparation for their next competition in April.

Being apart of a squad like the Scarlette requires alot of hard work and determination but is yet fun and very rewarding.
First year rookie, Ashton Paris told me "Joining the Scarlettes was definitely one of the best decisions I've made since starting the university in September. Not only is it great for my fitness, but it is also like having a second family because everyone is so close."

The Scarlettes no how important teamwork is when practising lifts and learning new routines.

Although many people would argue that Cheerleading is not a sport, alot of athletic capability, technique and teamwork is required.
For the Scarlettes cheerleading is not only seen as a hobby but apart of everyday university life. Socialising outside of practice with other members of the squad and the American Football players, they are a very close-knit group of friends.

As the first semester draws to an end the girls are sorting themselves out in preparation for next semesters big events, Varsity and their competition where they will compete agaist other teams infornt of thousands.
Coach Amie Pople stated "After christmas is going to be so busy with all the practice for varisty and comp but I'm really looking forward to it . This is my 3rd comp now and each year just gets better and better and the atmosphere is amazing"
