2025 Brings Our 14th Season of Cheer and Dance!

We are so excited for another incredible year at Shire Elite! A warm welcome to all our new athletes and families, and a huge welcome back to our returning athletes. We’re so happy to have you with us for what’s shaping up to be an amazing year ahead!

As we enter our 14th year, Shire Elite has grown to become a vibrant home for athletes of all ages, levels, and abilities. This year, we are proud to offer 23 teams and countless classes to choose from! If you’re new to Shire Elite, we are so excited to introduce you to our sport and, more importantly, our Shamily (Shire Elite Family). Here, every athlete plays an essential role in their team, and we can’t wait to watch you grow as an athlete and as a person.

💛 Uniform Sizing 

For athletes new to a competition team, or have moved from Cheer Sport to Development or All Star, you’ll be sized during classes over the next month. We will also have a sizing day on Sat 15 Mar so you can assist in sizing your child with their uniform. We'll also have pop up shops for cheer shoes from Cheer Direct and Trixstar so you can get sized and order your shoes. We will also have a merch stand for pre-ordering training gear, track suits and other club merch. If you require a new size please get in touch so we can also get your sizing done.

🎀 Cheer Shoes 

We recommend all athletes purchase proper cheer shoes for training and competing. For Recreational and Cheer Sport athletes, plain white shoes are totally fine. Here’s more details about finding the right shoes for you. We also have a sizing kit for Trixstar shoes at the reception to try on before you order online.

📱 New Phone Policy

To maintain focus and ensure a safe training environment, we ask that athletes do not bring phones onto the gym floor during training. If athletes need to bring their phones, they must remain in the athlete zone for the duration of the session. Coaches may use phones for specific purposes, such as marking rolls, setting timers, or recording videos to share on WhatsApp. Let’s work together to create a distraction-free and positive training space!
