  • YDP-Cheerleading Club

    Published 10/10/25

    YDP are introducing a brand new Cheerleading Club.

    The sessions introduce children to the exciting world of Cheerleading, helping them develop a strong foundation and understanding of the sport.

    Cheerleading combines elements of gymnastics, stunting, and dance - and contrary to popular belief, it doesn’t involve pom-poms! It’s a fantastic way for children to express themselves, showcase their energy, and build confidence in a fun, supportive environment.

    The sessions will be led by Coach Georgia, a qualified BGU Cheer coach with a Level 3 Extended Certificate in Sport and Physical Activity.

    Please see the attached flyer for more information.
