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’ and ‘Most Improved Club’.
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.
