CHEERLEADING FOR 4 YEAR OLDS

Aqua Elite is proud to announce our newest non-competitive team, Baby Rain! For children born between 2020-2022, these new classes are fun-filled and age appropriate, focusing on building confidence, coordination and teamwork. 

Aqua Elite offers everything cheerleading for 4 year olds should be: an opportunity to get involved in sport, dance and gymnastics, make lots of new friends, and all the support needed to learn and grow! If your child loves to stay active, cheerleading is the perfect new hobby. Our classes currently run across Bromley and South East London, based in local schools and venues. Our first Baby Rain class will begin on Friday 6th Feb 2026, 4:15-5pm. Sign up today!

At four years old, children are becoming more confident in their movement, communication, and ability to follow simple routines. Cheerleading helps build on these skills while encouraging creativity, teamwork, and self-belief.

Our sessions are lively and upbeat but structured, helping children feel secure while still allowing them to explore movement and express themselves. Our coaches are fully trained and experienced in working with children of all ages. 

Cheerleading offers a wide range of physical and developmental benefits, including:

• Improving coordination, balance, and overall motor skills
• Developing musicality through movement to music and counts
• Learning basic cheer motions and movement patterns
• Building memory and focus by recalling skills from week to week
• Encouraging social skills such as teamwork and turn-taking
• Providing a fun, healthy way to burn off energy

All skills are introduced gradually, with plenty of encouragement to help children build confidence at their own pace.

If your child enjoys cheerleading, they can continue training with Aqua Elite all the way through to age 16. As skills and confidence grow, children may be invited to audition for our competitive teams, which perform at events and competitions across the country.

Our pre-competition team, Mermaids, starts from age 5, offering a natural next step for young cheerleaders who are ready for more challenge. Progression is always child-led, ensuring each student develops at a pace that suits them.
