Cheerleading prepares for international bow

The BCF is the newest member of the Botswana National Sport Commission (BNSC) having joined the commission early this year. Now the federation has kickstarted preparations for the 2022 ICU Junior World Cheerleading Championships and the 2022 ICU World Cheerleading Championships.

The two competitions will be held in Florida, US in April next year and it will be BCF’s first ever-international competition in their seven-year existence. Speaking to Mmegi Sport, BCF president, Neo Selwe said the federation was impressed by the good turnout of aspirants on the day. She added that the technical team will select from the group of athletes who will make the national team for the World Championship. “The auditions went very well. We had a good number of athletes who turned up for these auditions. We had a large turnout from the males compared to the females. You see, cheerleading involves a lot of technique and specific skill and that is where the males dominated. We are yet to select the final squad since we finished late on the day. So, we will deliberate and select a team.
