Our Teams
Performance Team
Our Performance Team is at the heart of Storm, combining stunts, tumbling, jumps, dance and cheer to create high-energy performances!📣
With skills up to Level 2, the team is a great opportunity to develop your abilities, build confidence and enjoy performing without the commitment of competitive cheer.
Throughout the year, the team performs at Varsity, university sports games and our annual Storm Showcase, as well as cheering on teams including American Football and Basketball.
Training: Saturdays 5:30pm-7:30pm
Development Sessions
Perfect for anyone who wants to develop their cheerleading skills and learn something new outside of regular training. Our Development Sessions give athletes the opportunity to practise different skills, build confidence and progress at their own pace, without the pressure of competitions. Sessions vary throughout the year, giving you the chance to focus on different levels and skills💙
Training: Sunday 1pm-3pm
Competition Teams – Level 1 & Level 2
Our Level 1 and Level 2 Competition Teams represent the highest level of competitive cheerleading at Storm. Athletes perform high-energy 2.5-minute routines featuring stunts, jumps, tumbling and dance, competing against university cheer squads from across the country at three national competitions.
Over the last couple of seasons, our competition teams have brought home multiple 1st-place finishes, Top 3 placements and a Grand Champion title!🏆💙
Training Times:
- Level 1: Saturday 2pm-5:30pm
- Level 2: Sunday 6pm-9:30pm
Socials & Community
There’s more to Storm than training and competitions! We host weekly themed socials every Wednesday at Fishies, as well as regular sober socials including bowling, trampoline parks and other fun activities.
Throughout the year, we also come together for special events like our Christmas dinner and end-of-year awards meal, celebrating our achievements, progress and everything we’ve accomplished together💙
