Ascension Eagles Cheerleaders Fly High 升天老鷹啦啦隊展翅高飛2

Champions of competition
From its humble beginnings as an organization primarily devoted to getting young people off the streets. AEC has surpassed the expectations of all involved. In addition to Legacy’s high-ranking world status, in July 2010 they competed for and retained the top British title for the 12th successive year. No other cheer team in the world has held a national title for over a decade. But the recognition and awards neither begin nor end there. Over the course of one decade, the Ascension Eagles broke all national records.
Equally impressive, they are constantly ranked the best over every other cheer group in England – meaning the 130-strong AEC regularly out cheers more than 20,000 other cheerleaders. This national success has transformed into international prestige, as the AEC continues to dominate European competitions and climb the ranks in cheerleading’s birthplace, America. AEC’s high-caliber talent is on display several times per year, meaning the Ascension Eagles have entertained over 300 million people worldwide so far. And with more than 400 trophies to their name, these spirited cheerleaders show no signs of stopping. Rather, they plan to continue jumping, flipping and cheering their way on to more championship titles.
