The Carshalton Cheerleaders sent two groups to the London Marathon this year. They raised the roof and gave the runners a real lift all day long!
Energy was strong as the weather was perfect and cheerleaders from various squads of the Carshalton team came together for this event full of good causes. Crystals Intensity, Carshalton Sapphires and Gold and Bronze squads were delighted to be positioned at Mile 25 with the Alzheimers Society, whose 457 runners are on course to raise £350,000 this year. The cheerleaders gave the fund-raisers a real energy boost with support and encouragement.
The second squad giving it all they could was Carshalton Silver, cheering for one and all, especially supporting the fund-raisers of CLIC Sargent, the children's cancer charity. Hopes were high as the turn out this year was bigger than ever. ___________________________________________________ 2 April 2011:
Crystals Intensity were back at Selhurst Park for an invitational visit on Family Day.
Our cheerleaders were excited and drew large crowds in the hours before the match.
Once on the pitch, it was perfection as usual with the routine hitting all it's highlights. A shame the music was cut short, but friends and family all reported the day was a great success. Crystal Girls (CPFC) and Crystals Intensity (CC) became friends. And Palace won their match as well.

The sold-out venue, Carshalton High School for Girls was packed out with parents, grandparents and friends as almost 200 cheerleaders presented 20 different numbers. Included in the programme were several solos with Scarlett B, Ashleigh H, and Katchanski P showing the crowd incredible tumbles and confident presentations. Rachel P sang beautifully and played the guitar to shouts of surprised delight from her teammates who were only aware of her athletic abilities! The Crystals, top squad of the Carshalton Cheerleaders and winners of over 100 trophies in 15 years, amazed the crowd with their technical skills and ability to entertain.

The event was the BCA Southern Classic Cheerleading and Dance Competition, held over the weekend (Nov 6th & 7th) in the Devonshire Park Centre in Eastbourne.
The competition is now so large that the event runs for two full days filling two arenas in the centre. The Carshalton Cheerleaders were winners in 6 different age and skill groups.

A total of 50 cheerleaders and supporters stayed at the hotel where everywhere you looked you could see a group of cheerleaders or dancers. It was amazing standing on the competition floor and looking out at so many British flags. We spent 2 mornings in the Cheer Nation Gym just out of central Las Vegas. I'm sure many of the girls could've spent the whole trip in this cheerleader's heaven with a full size sprung floor, tumble tracks and trampolines. After 3 days of competiting, sunbathing, a lot of shopping, and with loads of new friends we returned home to a red a blue crowd at Gatwick Airport who were eager to see our trophies from 6 divisions.
