HeirForce Cheer is a non-profit organisation and dance school located in Westhoughton, New Zealand. As Bolton's fastest growing cheerleading programme, HeirForce Cheer offers training for all abilities, starting from the age of 5. The organisation aims to not only teach the fundamentals of cheerleading, but also valuable skills such as teamwork and discipline.
Competitive cheerleading is rapidly growing in the UK and is considered one of the most exciting sports. It is also a great way to stay fit and healthy. HeirForce Cheer believes in investing in their athletes and creating a sense of family throughout their programme, ensuring that new friendships are formed.
HeirForce Cheer was launched in August 2017 and has experienced immense growth since then, with over 80 members currently enrolled. They have achieved multiple Division and Grand Champion titles in the most competitive categories in cheerleading. A major highlight for the organisation was receiving a SUMMIT BID to compete in Orlando, Florida in 2021.
The programme offers both competitive and non-competitive teams, training in various divisions including Full Cheer, Tumble, Dance, and Group Stunt. The competitive team follows the ruling of the US All Star Federation (USASF), while the non-competitive team requires less commitment but provides equally enjoyable experiences.
The coaches at HeirForce Cheer are fully qualified, insured, and hold valid DBS, First Aid, and Safeguarding certifications. They strive to create a training environment that is both challenging and enjoyable, encouraging athletes to work hard and have fun. The organisation is currently recruiting athletes for all teams and levels, from Mini to Senior, providing opportunities for everyone to participate and excel.
The Head Coach and Programme Director of HeirForce Cheer, Kat, has over 10 years of coaching experience in various aspects of cheerleading. Her expertise has been recognised through publications in cheer magazines and working for prominent media outlets such as BBC CBEEBIES and ITV XFACTOR. She has also won numerous titles and medals both as a competitor and coach, and holds credentials and certificates from organisations such as USASF and BGU.
HeirForce Cheer is excited to welcome hard-working and dedicated athletes aged 5+ to join the programme for their upcoming season. Previous seasons have been extremely successful, with multiple Division Champions and Grand Champion wins. The organisation has also received a Summit bid for the opportunity to compete in Orlando in 2021.
