On Sunday, 26th January 2025, the NAEC in Stoneleigh will come alive with energy, athleticism, and passion as 62 cheerleading teams from across the UK step onto the mats for the highly anticipated Cheerleading Bid Battle 2025 put together by the British Cheerleading Association.
This unique and dynamic event, held free of charge for all competing teams, provides an unparalleled opportunity for athletes to showcase their talent and vie for a coveted cash prize that will help fund their journey to the World Cheerleading Championships in Florida this April.
Empowering Dreams, One Routine at a Time
Cheerleading is more than just flips and pom-poms; it’s a sport that demands teamwork, discipline, and extraordinary athleticism.
For these teams, the Cheerleading Bid Battle represents more than just a competition—it’s a chance to make their dreams of competing on the global mat a reality.
“This event embodies the spirit of the cheerleading community,” said Gary Veal, BCA Director. “By removing financial barriers for teams to participate, we’re able to foster talent, celebrate their hard work, and give them the tools to succeed internationally.”
What’s at Stake?
The Cheerleading Bid Battle isn’t your average competition.
Teams will perform intricate routines packed with stunts, tumbling, and synchronized choreography, all in pursuit of a share of the cash prize pot.
These funds are critical in offsetting the significant expenses of traveling to Florida, including flights, accommodation, and competition fees.
“We know the financial challenges that come with competing at such a high level,” added Gary. “This event is our way of supporting these teams and helping them focus on what they do best—cheering their hearts out!”
Why It Matters
The World Cheerleading Championships is a dream for many athletes. It’s a place where the best of the best showcase their skills, representing not just their teams but their countries.
For many of these UK teams, the Cheerleading Bid Battle is the key to making that dream attainable.
Beyond the prize money, this event highlights the values that cheerleading instills: resilience, camaraderie, and the ability to rise to any challenge.
