The UKCA Spring National Cheerleading Championships 2012 once again took place at Manchester Velodrome on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th May.  This was the first time sporting Dynamite entered the event on both days submitting no less than 6 teams in cheerleading (Saturday), Pom Dance (Sunday), Cheerdance (Sunday) and Streetcheer (Sunday)

The event entry fee charged by UKCA remained the same at £20 per person per category but unfortunately there was no longer a reduction for early booking (previously £5 per person) so those who were dancing twice the entry fee alone was going to be £40 hence the fees needed to increase accordingly to cover costs.  As usual Sporting Dynamite subsidised the competition costs as much as possible but this still mean a cost of approximately £60 for those entering one dance, £95 for those entering two dances and £135 for those entering three dances.
 
This competition represented a huge investment for Sporting Dynamite with advance entry fees alone coming to over £1600 and once outfit costs and other purchases were added it took the overall cost to well over £3000 for the event.
