WSS Blue Eclipse is Aiming High!

Cheerleading as a sport has been practiced in Trinidad and Tobago for six years now and
quite recently our National Extreme Team participated in World Championship Cheer Cup in Orlando, USA.

The WSS team initially sarted with 30 members, who decided on BLUE ECLIPSE as the name for the team.



The team, as is natural with any high intensity sport, saw its membership decline to 15, who form the core membership now.

In June 2014 at the TTCF National Cheer Xplosion Competition, the WSS Blue Eclipse team were awarded third place in their category out of the 5 schools competing at their level.

By November 2014, we had two teams,  Senior and Junior and at the TTCF ‘End of Year So You Think You Can Cheer Competition’, the Juniors came fifth place in their category, while the Seniors caught the second place trophy in their division.

Coming into 2015, based on incorrect perceptions and lack of support, the number of participating members declined and were not enough to form two teams.

With the growing recognition in our society and the region, during the Easter Vacation 2015, Synergy TV featured all the teams of the island. Notably, WSS Blue Eclipse captured the crowd’s hearts and the envy of other teams.

In addition to cheerleading training sessions, the coaches also include regular sessions on conduct as young women, team work, the importance of education and discipline.

WSS Blue Eclipse will be participating in the upcoming TTCF ‘National Cheer Xplosion 2015,  5th July 2015.  This event is scheduled to be broadcast live on local and regional television and judges and teams from other countries will be present and participating.

Members of the team along with their coach have been training with certified trainers at Long Circular gym and with a contortionist at St. George’s College during the weekends. 

WSS Blue Eclipse will indeed be Aiming High and putting on a world class performance so come out and support them.
