About Us
For over thirty years, the Alberta Cheerleading Association has continued to advance competencies within cheerleading, promote participation for life in various roles such as athlete, coach, official, or supporter, and provide safe, comfortable environments for participation that foster equality and sportsmanship.
Did you Know?
In 1984, the Alberta Schools Athletic Association (ASAA) first recognized cheerleading as a sport.
In 1988, the Alberta Cheerleading Association (ACA) was incorporated.
In 2005, the ACA initiated discussions with other Provincial Sport Organizations (PSO’s) for cheerleading regarding the vision to collaborate and form a national cheerleading organization. The ACA drafted and circulated a preliminary set of bylaws which led to the formation of Cheerleading Canada Inc. (Cheer Canada), our national governing body, and now has participation from all Canadian provinces.
