WHAT IS LEVEL UP?

Level Up is a brand-new educational event organised by the Belgian Cheerleading Federation for athletes, coaches and club administrators. Over the course of two days, participants of all ages and experience levels come together to learn, gain inspiration and continue developing within the sport of cheerleading.

Level Up combines technical development, personal growth and knowledge sharing in one unique weekend. Through a varied programme of practical workshops, inspiring presentations and networking opportunities, participants will develop new skills while gaining fresh insights from experienced professionals.

For coaches, Level Up is the ideal opportunity to deepen technical knowledge, discover innovative coaching methods and take home practical tools that can be implemented immediately within their own clubs.

With Level Up, the Belgian Cheerleading Federation is investing in the future of the sport. The programme aligns with the development vision of the International Cheer Union (ICU) and ICU Europe, and is delivered by qualified coaches alongside nationally and internationally recognised speakers with extensive experience in cheerleading.

Level Up creates an inspiring learning environment where quality, safety, collaboration and sustainable development are at the heart of everything we do.

OUR VISION

WHY DO WE ORGANISE LEVEL UP?

Cheerleading is a sport that continues to evolve. New techniques, updated safety standards and international developments make continuous education and knowledge sharing more important than ever.

The Belgian Cheerleading Federation actively supports this growth by providing high-quality education and professional development opportunities. Through Level Up, the federation brings together athletes, coaches and club administrators to exchange expertise, inspire one another and strengthen the sport together.

We believe that strong clubs create a strong sport. Strong clubs are built by well-educated coaches, committed club leaders and motivated athletes. By investing in people, we help build a safe, high-quality and future-oriented cheerleading community.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?

Throughout the weekend, practical workshops, technical training sessions and inspiring presentations alternate to create a dynamic learning experience. Athletes will actively train on the floor, while coaches and club administrators participate in sessions that combine both theory and hands-on practice.

During Level Up, you will have the opportunity to:

• Develop new skills
• Learn from experienced coaches and industry experts
• Take home practical tools you can immediately apply
• Expand your network within the cheerleading community

WHO IS IT FOR?

COACHES & CLUB ADMINISTRATORS

Coach workshops are designed for both new and experienced coaches who want to expand their technical knowledge, coaching methodology and teaching skills.

Strong clubs are built not only on the training floor, but also behind the scenes. That's why Level Up also offers educational sessions for club administrators and volunteers who want to invest in the continued development of their organisation.

The programme combines practical and theoretical sessions while encouraging knowledge sharing, fresh ideas and the exchange of experiences.
