Built to grow
Bristol 2028 is our debut. As more clubs join, Ignyte grows — more divisions, more dates, more cities. You’re in right at the start.
About
The vision
Ignyte exists to give UK allstar a competition that matches how far the sport has come — bold, fair, and genuinely worth travelling for.
Ignyte is a brand-new UK allstar cheerleading and dance competition, debuting in Bristol in May 2028. We’re not here to add another date to an already-crowded calendar — we’re here to build the competition we always wished we could take our teams to.
UK allstar has grown up. There are more clubs, more athletes and more ambition than ever, and the sport deserves events that match. Too often a brilliant routine — months of early mornings and aching muscles — gets a few minutes of attention. We think athletes deserve better, and so do the coaches and families behind them.
What we’re building
Ignyte is built around three promises: a day done properly — well run and easy to be part of; scoring you can trust, published in full before entries close; and a stage worth travelling for, with the production values this sport has earned. None of that is revolutionary — it’s just done with care.
Because our debut is in 2028, we have a rare luxury: time to build it with the clubs who’ll compete. Over the coming year we’ll confirm divisions, scoring, dates and pricing — and we want coach input on all of it.
Bold for the athletes. Fair for the coaches. Easy for the families. That’s the whole idea.
What makes us different
Not a templated competition.
Scoring you can trust
A clear, published rubric and an experienced panel. Coaches get transparency before they enter and feedback they can use after.
A real stage
Arena production, big sound and a proper crowd. Every team’s moment on the floor should feel like the main event — because it is.
Built with clubs
We’re shaping divisions, dates and the day itself in the open, with the coaches who’ll compete. This is a competition, not a product launch.
The Ignyte promise
Why Ignyte is different
A few promises we're building the competition around — the things clubs tell us they wish every event did.
Our promise
Feedback you can actually use
Every team leaves with a clear, published scoresheet and judges' notes — not just a number on a ribbon. Enter knowing exactly how you're judged; go home knowing how to get better.
Our promise
Founding Clubs
Clubs who compete at our 2028 debut become Founding Clubs — permanent recognition, a founding badge, and first refusal on places as Ignyte grows.
Our promise
Everyone included
Special Abilities and Para divisions run with the same care, stage and celebration as every other — and first-timers get a genuinely warm welcome, not a baptism of fire.
Our promise
A schedule you can trust
A published running order and realistic performance windows, so no team spends the whole day waiting around.
