University of Birmingham’s Cheerleading club, known as the Birmingham Pussycats, is a squad of approximately 65 students of all genders. The club has 5 competing squads: Level 3, Level 2, Hip Hop, Lyrical, and Pom. As one of the best cheerleading teams in the country, the Pussycats hold multiple national championship titles and frequently excel in all divisions. The club also has a performance squad that regularly performs at a range of sporting events, always supporting the Pride.

The Birmingham Pussycats perform the half-time show at the UK’s annual premier Varsity American Football Game, ‘xpLosION!’ in front of 4000+ spectators. This event is definitely a highlight of the university calendar that both participating and spectating students look forward to! Being a Pussycat is a brilliant way to learn a new set of unique skills, develop as an athlete and be part of a diverse and ambitious team.
