The University of Birmingham Cheerleading team, proudly known as the Pussycats, is a fierce, passionate, and dynamic group of around 65 athletes. As one of the most nationally recognised university cheerleading teams in the UK, the Pussycats travel across the country to compete at events such as Legacy Cheer and Dance, ICC and Future Cheer.

Our five competition teams- All-girl level 3, All-girl level 2, Pom, Hip-hop and Lyrical/Jazz- hold multiple national titles, and we are setting our sights on even more in the upcoming season.

For those seeking a more relaxed yet still exciting cheer experience, we offer two non-competitive teams. The performance team brings high energy and flair to campus events, performing at matches for other University sports clubs. Our newest addition, the Tabbycats is a developmental team for athletes looking to learn new skills, build confidence, and shine at our annual showcase.

No matter what team you’re on, every cheerleader gets the unforgettable opportunity to perform at XpLosION, the UK’s biggest varsity American Football game. Cheering in front of more than 4,000 spectators at one of the most electric events of the year.

Whether you are chasing titles or just looking to be part of something amazing, joining UOB cheer means pushing yourself, performing with passion, and becoming a part of a tight-knit, empowering family that lifts each other up on and off the mat!
