Club History
The Edinburgh Napier Panthers Cheerleading Squad (ENU Cheer Squad) has been running since 2011 and we continue to grow year on year. We are proud to hold a number of awards under our belt, such as the ‘Media Award’, ‘Best Fundraiser’, ‘Most Improved Club’ and ‘Best Committee’.
We are a competitive team that strives for high performance; we welcome all abilities from inexperienced to elite athletes, dancers, gymnasts with both experience or no experience of cheer at all. Through our dynamic, fun and crazy training sessions and socials we build on the Panthers ethos of team spirit and family. Being part of the panthers cheerleading squad will enhance your student experience as it will allow you to create memories that will last a lifetime along with friendships.
ENU Cheer Squad also competes nationally against other teams all over the UK. We offer taster sessions so come along and give it a go. We are proud to have a team that will cater for your cheer needs, whether you want to compete or just cheer for fun, there is a team for you!
We build ourselves on our family ethos; within the Panther family but also within Team Napier. Not only will you be joining us but the whole of Team Napier too.
Teams
Level 1 Team - this team is one of our competition teams. This is for those looking to compete, are focused on learning technique and show dedication to improving throughout the year. This is a high-commitment team.
Level 2 Team - this team is our higher-level competition team. This is for those who have had past experience, or those who have experience in gymnastics or similar. However, it is not impossible for freshers to be on this team…show your dedication and we will see it! This is a high-commitment team.
Varsity – After an amazing year last year with vasrity we are SO excited to return! Our varsity team will be open to everyone, including those who want to compete as it will be so fun. This is for those who haven’t done cheerleading before, or those who don’t want to compete. There will be several opportunities within our varsity team to perform routines at Scottish competitions such as stunt groups, large routines, and possibly even cheer dance. We will learn all aspects of cheerleading at varsity including stunting, tumbling, and dancing, and cheer on Team Napier at other sporting events.
Pom - this team is our dance competition team. This is for those looking to compete, are focused on sharp technique, arm movements, form and cheerleading jumps. Pom is such a fun team that everyone loves to support and watch, if not compete in!
