KCL Lions are the university's cheerleading and gymnastics team. We welcome students of all abilities and genders! Founded in 2005, we have gone from strength to strength, competing at national level each year. In 2017 we became national champions in our All Girl Level 2 team, and our Level 3 stunt group were national champions in 2014. in 2020 all three of our competing squads came in 3rd place at nationals.
For the 2021/22 season we plan on having the following teams:
Our team of athletes consists of students studying a range of different subjects with a shared passion for teamwork, fitness and performance. Competitive cheerleading consists of 4 elements: stunting, dance, tumbling and jumps. Do you want to keep fit and strong, develop your teamwork skills, and meet some amazing people? Then cheerleading is the sport for you!
You don't need to have any experience to join - we will teach you everything you'll need to know from the basics, and for those of you that have cheered before or have a background in dance or gymnastics, that's great! Many of us have never cheered or done gymnastics before university, and since then we have loved every second and formed some lifelong friendships and fun memories.
Outside of training, we enjoy weekly socials including sports night as well as regular sober socials such as a brunch or mini-golf, and joint socials with other sports teams such as the American Football team. One of the highlights of our social calendar is our tour which is always a blast during summer! Our most recent tour was in Croatia.
