ONCE AGAIN ANOTHER CONGRATULATIONS!
This weekend saw Coventry Dynamite take home two more trophies at the Schools and Community Nationals in Manchester. Junior A Pom Dance placed 1st and Senior Cheerleading placed 3rd. A big thank you to every one who made this weekend possible, especially all of the girls that competed. Support from the parents was amazing especially considering that this was the first championships for most girls, once again we thank you. Community Cheerleading aims to provide an ENTRY level for all teams and because many teams fail to comply with this and unfairly enter many cheerleaders who have also entered the non-community nationals the standard this year was exceptional. You all did so well and we are confident that the UKCA are looking into preventing so many squads entering clearly advanced cheerleaders solely to 'trophy grab' as it was mentioned in the coaches meeting at the week end. We are so proud of everthing we do at Coventry Dynamite and you are all outstanding role models in the Cheerleading community. Keep up the hard work girls!
The full list of results is below:
Teenies Pom Dance: 9th
Senior Pom Dance: 10th
Senior Cheerleading: 3rd
Junior A Pom Dance: 1st
Many thanks to all of you who came to the auditions, it was great to see so many of you interested in Cheerleading! We all had a really great time, and hope you did. If you are unsure of you classs times don't hesitste to contact us on 07789912087 or 02476337034.
