Most embarrassing moment? Accidental flashing from one of our flyers at comp.

Why is your sport the best? Performances are dependent on the skill of each athlete on their own, but also how they work together as a team.

Who has the best chat? Sta, for getting thirty cheerleaders into Marbella clubs for free every night.
Who receives the most fines? Come on a swap with us and find out…
One to watch? All the new Cougs who are joining this year.
