A note from our Gym Director, Kimberley.
Elements Elite is a grassroots cheerleading team in Bedford, aimed at providing young people in the local community with a fun, safe, and encouraging environment to engage in cheerleading. The club focus is on building cheerleading skills, promoting teamwork, improving physical fitness, and creating opportunities for local competitions. Elements Elite believes in inclusivity and affordability are vital to ensure the program is accessible to all children and young people, regardless of background or ability.
​
Our mission is to provide a positive, empowering cheerleading experience for children and young people in Bedford , fostering a sense of community, discipline, and achievement through cheerleading.
Since opening the doors of Elements Elite in 2015, I have been incredibly proud of the growth and success we've achieved over the years. From our dedicated teams earning accolades at regional, national, and international competitions, to our strong involvement in the local community, it’s been a rewarding journey. Our passion for excellence and commitment to fostering talent have helped us build a supportive environment where individuals thrive. As we look ahead to 2025, I am excited to move to our new home at Bedford Greenacre Independent School where we will be able to expand our class offerings.
CORE VALUES
Be Fun
At Elements, we believe that cheerleading should always be fun! We create an environment where laughter, joy, and excitement are part of everything we do. Fun is the heart of our team spirit, and we strive to keep the energy high, so every practice and performance is an enjoyable experience for everyone.
Be Willing To Try
We believe in the power of trying new things. At Elements we encourage every member to step outside of their comfort zone, try new skills, and embrace challenges. A willingness to try, even when things are tough, is what helps us grow and achieve great things as a team.
​
Be a Team Player
Being a team player is essential to our success. We work together, support each other, and put the team’s goals above individual achievements. Whether you're cheering, practicing, or performing, we know that every person plays an important role in helping the team succeed.
Be A Role Model
As a cheerleader, you are not only a representative of our team but also a role model for others. We hold ourselves to high standards of behaviour, both on and off the mat, by showing respect, responsibility, and dedication. We lead by example and inspire others to do the same.
Be All In
To be 'all in' means giving 100% in everything you do. We expect every athlete to commit fully to practices, performances, and the growth of the team. When we give our best effort, both individually and as a team, we set ourselves up for success and make our cheerleading journey truly rewarding.
Be Positive
Positivity is a key part of our culture at Elements. We approach every challenge with an optimistic attitude, encouraging others and finding solutions instead of focusing on obstacles. A positive mindset is contagious, and it helps our team stay motivated, uplifted, and ready to tackle any challenge that comes our way.
What can Elements Elite offer you?
We offer a competitive cheerleading provision in Bedford, as well as tumbling workshops and recreational classes at both sites for those who wish to partake in non-competitive skill-based activities.
​
Elements Elite has passionate and knowledgeable coaches who have years of cheerleading, tumbling, and dance experience. Building a strong athletic foundation is important to us, as we believe it sets athletes up for longevity and success. Above all else, we recognise the importance of building life skills that athletes can use in daily life for years to come - teamwork, discipline, trust, respect and accountability.
TESTIMONIALS
I can't say enough about the incredible coaches at Elements Elite! Their passion, expertise, and dedication have helped me grow both as an athlete and as a person. From mastering new stunts to providing valuable guidance on how to improve my skills, they’re always there to push us to be our best. I feel supported every step of the way and couldn't ask for better coaches!

VENUE
In spring 2025 we moved to a brand-new, stunning location, and it’s a game changer! Our new site is nestled on a beautiful hillside between Bedford and Clapham, just minutes from Bedford Train Station and only 15 minutes from M1 Junction 14 – making it super easy to get to! The best part? We now have plenty of space to store all our awesome equipment right on-site, so we can roll out our air tracks, wedges, inclines, spotting blocks, crash mats, and more whenever we need them. Plus, we’re in the middle of fundraising for some brand-new roll mats to make our sessions even more exciting! This new location is giving us the chance to level up, with more space, more gear, and even more fun for everyone.
​
We can’t wait to see you all here!
