The Palace Crystals were formed from The Carshalton Cheerleaders in 1995 when they became the squad chosen to represent Crystal Palace Football Club. As the Palace Crystals, they have now cheered the team on for 13 seasons, through good times and bad! We currently look forward to the start of a new season. Come On You EAGLES!

Baltimore, Maryland 2008 As well as travelling to Baltimore to compete, the Palace Crystals were delighted to meet the NFL Baltimore Ravens. The (American football) Ravens are one of the top NFL teams in the nation. They are also unique in having collegiate-style co-ed cheerleaders. The Crystals were invited to the Ravens training grounds in Owings Mills. Their cheerleaders have recently had their try-outs and we were welcomed to their first pre-season practice. The Crystals have often wished that male fans of CPFC would want to form a co-ed squad. If you are interested, please get in touch. The objective of the co-ed squad would be to develop higher flying tosses, and fabulous extended lifts! Can you take the challenge? We welcome any one from age 16+ who is willing to work-out on Thursday evenings. Get to the next season’s games for free! Cheer with one of the top trophy winning teams in the UK! May 4, 2008

MIDLANDS CLASSICS RESULTS The Palace Crystals Cheerleaders and the rest of the Carshalton Cheerleaders have swept the board at the Midlands Classic Cheerleading Competition. The two day event, coupled with the University Open attracted 3,300 competitors. The Palace Crystals won Senior Cheer Advanced Division as C.C. Pom Crazy Gold won Intermediate and C.C. Pom Crazy Silver took Novices. As well as performing the best cheer routines, the Carshalton Cheerleaders won the Senior and Junior Divisions in Dance with Cheer Magic Senior and Junior teams. The Carshalton Cheerleaders were organised in 1993 and were invited to become the Palace Crystals at CPFC in 1995. In the history of British Cheerleading regional opens, the Palace Crystals remain unbeaten. The Palace Crystals are now headed off to Baltimore, Maryland to compete in the Allstar Challenge Competition. They will compete with the top squads in America over two days. As well as competing, their busy schedule includes visits to the NFL professional cheerleaders - The Baltimore Ravens; Allstar cheerleading squad - the Maryland Twisters; and high school squad - the Severna Park Seniors.

COMPETITIVE CHEERLEADING The competition season is in full swing and the Palace Crystals are getting ready. On Sunday, March 23rd, they will take part in the British Midlands Classic in Telford in Shropshire. Using that event as a warm-up, they will jet off to Baltimore on April 8th to compete in the American Allstar Challenge. The Crystals are excited and anxious in equal measure, knowing that every year, the competitions get more difficult. Even British regional events show 40 to 60% growth every year. The Crystals are keen to stay at the top of the British trophy winners. Is cheerleading a sport? As the number of teams in this country increase, appreciation of the athleticism and abilities of cheerleaders grows. Training is long and difficult, cheer routines become more complex and the battle at competitions is close and hard fought. Still, cheerleaders are unique in their support of other cheer teams, knowing that we are together working for a greater appreciation of the activity we call a sport. Want to know more? See http://www.carshaltoncheerleaders.org.uk for the home team of the Palace Crystals. Or pop in to the Telford International Centre on Easter Sunday and give us some great Eagles support! Did you see the cheerleaders on Challenge TV Bingo Lotto? Yes, that was the Carshalton Sapphires – the older sister team to the Crystals. There are ex-Crystals on this team, but it is open to all, even beginners. For opportunities to take part call Head Coach Jean on 020 8669-0380. February 2, 2008 
BRING IT TO BALTIMORE! The Palace Crystals are finalising plans to travel to the USA! On April 19th the Crystals will perform at CPFC USA in Baltimore for the opening match of the American soccer season. Fund-raising is intense as the trip will include competing at a national competition and taking in the sights and sounds of the city. The English cheerleaders are hoping to meet NFL cheerleaders as well as train in a local gymnastics centre with top equipment and facilities. n As always, we could use some sponsorship. Anyone who would like their company name to come along for the journey is welcome! Please contact Jean – Head Coach. Details available through the CPFC office. New Years Day 2008
