No, but that’s perfectly normal! Most athletes will spend multiple seasons at a level before having the skills to advance onto the next. Athletes should become the master of the skills at their level before being considered for a level higher. Every athlete will progress at a different rate, try not to compare your athlete to their friends.

Tyneside Ignite – yes, the opportunities to travel will change each year, examples may include Barcelona, Amsterdam or USA. We also have plenty of opportunities for those NOT wishing to travel outside of the UK.

Ignite Barnsley – this is the goal eventually, currently we are a programme aiming to develop into competitive cheerleading in the UK.

This will depend on the level and location. See our pricing structure breakdown under each location to help. If you are still unsure, email info@ignitecheer.co.uk for any queries.
