On Sunday, parents, athletes and supporters descended on Electric Athletics Salford Cheerleading Gym - Electric Avenue, to show their support to the program’s athletes competing at the CHEERSPORT National Championships in Atlanta this month – EA Strike.

At the end of the showcase, EA Strike were presented with their Atlanta cheer stash, consisting of new team apparel, training kit and other goodies.

Head Coach and Program Director Becky Whittle said “The CHEERSPORT National showcase is so important as it gives the athletes supporters a chance to look at what their child has been working towards since August, ready for the international competition this month. It was great having the two teams from Academy Cheer in our gym and perform alongside us, and the support from everyone in the gym was amazing. As Program Director I couldn’t be prouder of every single member of Electric Athletic.
