Ascension Eagles Cheerleaders attended FutureCheer London Regionals on Bank Holiday Monday, March 28 at Crystal Palace National Sports Centre.
Over 200 Ascension Eagles fans traveled with the East End team to Londons first regional cheer championship.
Although Ascension Eagles Junior team recently returned from a successful USA competition tour, Ascension Youth team and Coed team have not competed yet this season.
Ascension Eagles Director Shara Brice said, "Sixty per cent of our Youth Team are new this year, so this was their first competition experience. What a brilliant introduction to the wider world of cheerleading! It felt like we made AEC history with every stunt in every routine hitting! The more stunts you perform across multiple teams, the greater the odds are that some wont hit. Each of our teams did a superb job".

Ascension Eagles were rewarded with two Grand Champion trophies,
five 1st place trophies and one 5th place trophy -- including
1st place Youth Cheer,
1st place Senior Cheer,
1st place Coed Elite Cheer,
1st place Senior Dance,
1st place Senior Individual (Patrick Asante),
5th place Senior Individual (Aaron McKearney).

Ascension Eagles also won Grand Champions for top overall score in both Cheer (AEC Varsity Coed) and in Dance (AEC JV Dance).
FutureCheer London Regionals marked the first time a sprung competition floor was used in the UK for cheer championships, and a Marley floor was introduced for dance teams.
Ascensions Coaching Coordinator Samantha Lee (age 22, Custom House) said, "Future Cheer London was an excellent warm-up for our competition season. We are really proud of all of our teams and of all of our staff who work so hard and volunteer their time to coach our local kids to championship level. They did a superb job preparing our squads. We also appreciate all the support from our AEC family members".
