Round 1

Sunday 8th December 2024
Time: 9:30am – 2:30pm
Location: Queens Park Community School, NW6

Held just before the end of the term in December, all of our cheer squads come together to create and perform an epic pyramid stunt that showcases the strength and teamwork of the entire team.

While this event is closed to audiences, it’s a great opportunity for our squads to come together and watch each other’s amazing performances. Each school team prepares their pyramids during the club sessions after half term, getting ready to show off their skills and prepare for upcoming competitions with audiences.

Don’t miss out on the fun and excitement of the Winter Pyramid Off event!
