Let’s get REBELS to America
Donation protected
Who are ‘Rebels’?
‘Rebels’ are a cheerleading team of girls aged six to nine, based at Empire Elite Allstar Cheerleading in Spalding. In May 2024, they competed at the University of Warwick, where they placed 1st, gained the title of ‘Grand Champions’, and received a bid from Cheer City to attend the Cheer Grand Nationals in Florida.
What does this mean?
‘Rebels’ are making history as the first-ever team from Empire Elite to gain a bid for an international competition. Bids aren’t given freely; they are awarded to exceptional athletes who have displayed that they have what it takes to make it in the USA- the recognised home of cheerleading. For ‘Rebels’, the prospect of competing in America was only a dream. Until now…
‘Rebels’ are a team that has proven that with dedication, self-belief, and a little bit of sparkle, they can achieve the unthinkable. They have talent, charisma, and attitude in abundance, but these qualities can’t fund international travel. That’s where you come in…
We are asking friends and family to donate what they can to help towards the cost of our athlete's travel and associated costs such as gym hire in the US, and training kits. Donations of all sizes are gratefully received.

Cheerleading has historically been overlooked as a sport in the UK, but we are beginning to catch up with the US. This All-Star sport is highly competitive, physically grueling, and requires hard work and dedication. Cheerleading has recently been recognised by the International Olympic Committee as a sport, opening the door for cheerleading to be included in the Olympic Games in future years.
Anyone who has ever been involved in Empire Elite Allstar Cheerleading knows we are building more than just human pyramids. We are building confidence, self-belief, resilience, work ethic, and determination. We are building friendships that last a lifetime. We are building strength of the mind and body. We are building a more positive future for each and every athlete who walks through the doors of our gym. Please consider supporting us to help not just a team of cheerleaders, but girls who can be leaders in every area of their lives.
Help us to grow, help us to thrive, and help us show America exactly what we’re made of!
