North Dublin Wildcats All Star Cheerleading Program

The North Dublin Wildcats Cheerleading program was established in 2008 by Hayden McGurk.
The program operates in Finglas West.

The program focus on the US style of All Star Cheerleading. As Ireland is not as advanced any many international countries when it comes to sport cheerleading, we believe in coaching our athletes using the proper progression table.
This means we spend a lot of time working from the ground up with our stunting/tumbling/dancing and jumping which will help us in our future.

We always strive to master our basics, as our basics help us with everything else.

We cater for children aged 5+ years of age and occasionally have openings for new children to join.
Anyone who joins does not have to be able to have a background in gymnastics or acrobatics, though it is an advantage.
All we ask is that parents/guardians are fully supportive of the children whilst in the program and understand that there are expenses, such as 4 weekly fees, uniform, kit, competition costs and travel to championships.
We like to ask the parents to encourage positive and good behaviour, practicing at home and to be a part of their childs' cheerleading life.

We have 3 squads that train each week.

Bob Cats - Ages 5-8
Panthers - Ages 9 - 12
Jaguars - Ages 13+
