Our main placement week has now passed for season four, however our recreational team take on athletes throughout the season. 

That all depends on the team you are placed in. We pride ourselves on being the most value for money program in our area and because of this costs are as low as possible.

Outside of the regular monthly training fees, our extra costs are competition entry fees, competition uniform, and any additional extras such as spectator tickets to events and training kit.

Your first port of call for day-to-day running of the club is your Team Group on WhatsApp, manned by your teams coach. ​If you wish to discuss something personal with the director, please don’t hesitate to contact or email ktballstars@gmail.com

All social media usage by athletes and parents alike must be positive, and reflect the club in a good light. This is throughout all Social Media platforms, KTB Facebook groups, and anonymous forums. We also ask that no parents share full routines across their Social Media accounts until the conclusion of the season. 

The main reason we compete is to have fun and to show off how hard we have worked. Competitions are the highlights within our season and a clear, focused goal for all our athletes. Our main aim at each competition is to produce a zero deduction routine (known in the cheerleading world as hitting zero). Any trophies or accolades we win are a complete bonus.

Hitting Zero means that the athletes perform they given choreographed routine with no mistakes or errors, earning themselves zero deductions from the judges. We always strive to achieve this at every competition.

Yes - all athletes in a KTB competitive squad are expected to commit to all competitions for their squad in a season. We do not authorised absences for a competition unless in case of emergency which is judged on a case-by-case basis. If your athlete is recreational, only, they are not expected at competitive events.

All athletes train with their team once a week between 1-3 hours, depending on their age group. Crossover athletes will train twice or three times weekly in cheerleading, once with each team.

Red Zone is the four weeks leading up to any competition where attendance at cheerleading training is mandatory with no exceptions. This is to allow us to maintain productive session throughout this crucial time. Any athlete, unable to attend a Red Zone training session, for whatever reason will be removed from their team for the upcoming competition to allow their teammates to train fully.

A crossover athlete is an athlete who performs on two teams. They train once per week with each team and compete with both teams and competitions. Crossover athletes must be dedicated, pick up choreography quickly, have a versatile skill set and have great stamina.

Within cheerleading, we perform acrobatic stunting, gymnastics floor tumbling, jumps, and a short dance section. There are no Pom-poms or “cheering’!
