The 2010 memberships are now due (January) and must be paid no later than the end of February 2010.

This years membership has been calculated at £16 per member which includes full Sporting Dynamite membership along with Full UKCA membership.  As per the requirements of legislation this membership fee also includes a contribution towards the clubs insurance policy which covers all members, helpers, coaches and staff in the event of injury.

Please note:  As a condition of our insurance we have been instructed to tell our members that the Gymnastics/flexibility training that we run at the club is classed as a level 2 Hazardous Activity.  As proof we therefore request that all persons taking part in this training sign a document stating that they have been informed.

Our insurance company has informed us that this in no way affects or compromises our/your insurance cover or statutory rights.

Our next target are the Community Nationals Saturday 15th May 2010?

Every year UKCA hold their Nationals at Manchester Velodrome and the competition that Sporting Dynamite enter is The Community Nationals.

Last year was our first year and considering we only had a few months to practice both teams did fantastic securing a thirteenth and fourth position.  This year will be no easier as some children have left and others have joined which effectively means that we are starting from scratch with new teams.  Well not quite, we do have the knowledge that we have the ability to succeed and the coaches now understand whats required.  For some children this will be their second time so they should be more settled and therefore give a better account of themselves.

In all, we have a good chance, so as long as everybody tries hard and attends every session then 2010s competition should be as good if not better than 2009. 

Who do you think was the most improved cheerleader of 2009?

Before you answer, it's not all about who's the best, it's about who worked the hardest, who tried their heart out, who put in 110%, who is always there, who helps others, who always has a smile on their face, who cheers everyone up, who's a good friend, who's nice to other cheerleaders, who's come a long way since they came to the club, who is everything a Sporting Dynamite Cheerleader should be?

What should we do now? should we have an award? or maybe 2 - What do you think, any ideas, Let Alan know, it's your club, so have your say!

On Saturday 16th May 2009 Sporting Dynamite get the chance to put all their hard work into practice as they attend their very first competition at the UKCA (United Kingdom Cheerleaders Association) Community Nationals Championships which will be held at The National Cycling Centre (Manchester Velodrome).

Both our teams will be entering in the Pom Dance Class: Teenies (5yrs to 9yrs) and Junior A (under 12yrs).  We would like to wish all our Cheerleaders the best of luck and hope they all have a fantastic time.

The Sporting Dynamite Cheerleaders who attended the summer camp last week got a real treat on Thursday when they were transported to Sports City to take part in a special Streetcheer promotion with Beth Tweddle.  This was such a big day for all and the children even took part in a short promotional film which is now screening on Channel M - see this link for details

Congratulations to both teams who took part in the Nationals.  It was a long but fantastic day that was full of surprises, including the introduction of our teams official partners mascot "Bud Man" and our super brand new banners supplied by Emma Littlewood and Natalie Monk's parents. (thanks for all your efforts, wicked banners)

The event was a total success for Sporting Dynamite with both teams coming home with trophies, a special award for Sereena and two dancers entered in the freestyle event, which is a massive achievement in it's self, Well done to Julie, Sereena, both teams and our impressive helpers, who worked tirelessly throughout the whole day - for further details click here  for results click here
