OUR COMPETITIVE TEAMS

We're excited to offer a range of levels and divisions to suit our diverse athlete pool. It's our policy that an athlete is to try-out for the programme (not a specific team) - the Royals coaching staff will place athletes on a team that best suits the athlete. Please trust this process! 

Age Grids:

 

Royals follow the IASF/SportCheerEngland guidelines on age groups and skill levels. We will continue to adhere to these guidelines to ensure the best experience for all athletes. All teams are open to all genders.

 

Training Schedule:

  • Training days and schedule will be released following tryouts and team placements

  • You may also be invited to or request to cross over and be on two cheer teams.

Prep Vs AllStar Division

 

What's the difference between a Prep team and a AllStar team? Well, in practice there isn't a lot at Royals. All teams have the same access to experienced coaches and train at our state of the art facility in Cobham. Prep division is designed for athletes who have a little experience with cheer, in the first few seasons of their cheer career or are beginners. 

At tryouts we have different entry criteria for each level - see below for this criteria.
