Benefits of being a SportCheer Scotland Member for Clubs
-
We are working closely with sportscotland to gain our full recognition as a sport. We are in our final stages and once fully approved, allstar clubs will have better access to funding for growing our sport at a grassroot level as well as education opportunities.
-
We are an active part of SportCheerUK and are involved in the creation and distribution of age grids which are used at events as well as by clubs up and down the country.
-
We have organised and covered the costs of ICU Judges training courses. Many Scottish coaches are now able to work and educate others as a result, further progressing their careers and supporting our coaches, clubs and athletes as well as event producers.
-
Athletes have access to worldwide travel insurance that provides cover for participation at international sporting events as well as medical care if required at a fraction of the cost.
-
We work hard to protect our community and offer PVG services to ensure athletes are safe in all aspects of our community.
-
We organise and arrange coach education courses, safeguarding courses and first aid courses. We aim to continue to provide these opportunity’s on a yearly basis.
-
Throughout the years we have, and continue, to hire facilities from many allstar gyms in all areas of Scotland. If you would be interested in your facility being used for our various events please get in touch.
-
We have given athletes opportunities to be involved in paid projects some of which include - Disney's Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, EE adverts and other tv shows and films, some of which not yet aired. We look forward to sharing these when they do.
-
We have been instrumental in "green lighting" many allstar coaches. This means we confirm that they have the relevant background checks (PVG scheme membership) and are not prohibited from working with athletes. We have offered support and spoken on behalf of many coaches to event producers and governing bodies when issues have arisen.
-
Over 400 individual athletes have experienced ICU World Cheerleading Championships through the national team, some of which, whose club are not yet in a position to offer a "worlds" experience. We are proud that our organisation can provide unforgettable and for many, once in a lifetime experiences.
-
Allstar coaches have had employment opportunities by working for the national team. We are in a position to offer paid roles within the coaching staff meaning allstar coaches can gain more work, experiences and extend their knowledge within our community .
SportCheer Scotland aims to continue opening the door to these opportunities for allstar clubs, coaches and athletes. As a team of volunteers we do our up most to add to our calendar, we hope once our full recognition is granted we can provide more for our community.
Without a governing body we would not be able to give allstar clubs and individuals, from allstar clubs the opportunity to represent their country. National level competitions such as International Cheer Union World Cheerleading Championships, International Cheerleading Cup, World Cup, ICU Europe (formally the ECU) all require a governing body in order to participate. Larger multi-games events such as The World Games, Commonwealth Games and Olympics also require this. We are proud to be our country’s governing body and pay our membership to the ICU and ICU Europe to allow athletes and clubs these opportunities.
