What Is Cheer4Fun?
Cheer4Fun is Notts Hotshots’ recreational cheerleading programme. It gives children a place to learn cheer skills, be active and enjoy training with others without joining a competition team.
There’s no expectation that your child can already cartwheel, tumble or perform. Coaches introduce skills progressively, starting from each athlete’s current ability.
Some children want a fun weekly hobby. Others may eventually want to try competitive cheer. Both are welcome, and there is no requirement to compete.
Why Families Choose Cheer4Fun
No Experience Needed
Children can learn the foundations from their own starting point. No gymnastics or dance background is required.
New Skills
Introduce stunts, jumps, tumbling and choreography through structured coaching.
More Confidence
Practising new skills gives children opportunities to try, learn and recognise their progress.
Friends & Teamwork
Athletes learn to communicate, encourage one another and work together.
What Will They Learn?
Cheer brings movement, athletic skills and performance together. Sessions introduce different elements as children develop their confidence and foundations.
Stunts
Introductory stunt skills and working together, with coaching and progressions appropriate to the group.
Tumbling
Body control and foundational floor skills suited to each athlete’s current ability.
Jumps
Cheer jump technique, coordination, strength and control.
Dance
Fun choreography to develop timing, musicality and performance.
Teamwork
Listening, communicating and supporting the people they train alongside.
For Children Finding Their Thing
Cheer4Fun welcomes boys and girls, from complete beginners to children bringing experience from another activity.
The Complete Beginner
A chance to discover the sport without needing to know the skills or terminology first.
A New Weekly Hobby
A structured activity where children can move, learn, build friendships and belong.
Foundations For The Future
A recreational start for children who may later want to explore the competitive pathway.
A little nervous? Let us know when you enquire. Tell the team what would help your child feel more comfortable trying their first class. If your child is outside the 6–14 age range, explore our other classes or ask us about suitable options.
Try It. Meet The Coaches. Find Their Place.
Start with a free taster at a suitable session. There’s no need for your child to prove what they can do before trying beginner cheer.
Send us their age, preferred day and any previous experience—or simply tell us they are completely new. We’ll confirm the class details and what to wear and bring.
Before attending, let the team know about any support needs or relevant information the coaches should be aware of.
What Does A Class Feel Like?
Cheer4Fun combines structured coaching with the enjoyment of discovering a sport. Activities vary with the group and the skills being developed.

- Practice with teammates on stunts, jumps, tumbling or choreography.

Keep It Fun. Or Explore What Comes Next.
Some children love Cheer4Fun as their weekly activity and stay recreational. Others discover a passion for cheer and want to learn more about competing.
If competitive cheer becomes a goal, our coaches can explain the annual tryout pathway and how to prepare. Attending Cheer4Fun does not guarantee a competitive team place.
