Socials are one of the highlights of being a Sabrecat and allow for friendships to form across the whole club!
Every Wednesday our club attends Sheffield University student Union sports night ROAR!
The evening usually starts with a bar crawl down West Street visiting our sponsored bars such as Tiger Works, Molly Malone's, West Street Live and Bierkeller before heading to Bar One and ROAR!
Our Wednesday socials are usually themed and organsied by our social secs!
Popular past themes include: Grannies and babies, Pitbull and pub golf!
Some socials are just Sabrecats, but for bigger socials such as charity socials we include Pom Cheer and the Sabres!
SOBER SOCIALS
We will never put pressure on anyone to drink alcohol or feel like they have to during socials and we don't hold fresher initations for joining our club. Our aim is to always hold socials that will be enjoyable for everybody.
We hold sober socials throughout the year clubwide and within individual squads to socialise outside of cheer training.
Sober socials We've done in the past include: Pottery painting, team meals, and sign making for Sapphire's varsity performances!
CHEER CHRISTMAS BALL
Every December we have a joint Christmas Ball with Pom Cheer and American Football Sabres!
This Evening is a Black Tie event where we celebrate semester one coming to an end and get into the Christmas spirit!
ALUMNI WEEKEND
Every April we invite all our alumni back to Sheffield for a weekend to catch up and celebrate the success of the past year.
This weekend we are also joined with American Football Sabres and their alumni!
The weekend starts with our social awards to celebrate the past year of socials.
Then its the cheer bowl where Cheerleaders try a game of American Football, whilst the footballers cheer them on and perform a cheer routine at halftime. The sabre alumni also play a game of American football and we finish the afternoon with a BBQ at CVP.
The weekend ends with a Summer ball to celebrate Sabre and Sabrecats past year with the alumni.
VARSITY
During Varsity, Sapphire perform at half time for many games such as Rugby and Football!
The whole club go to support, it's a fun and exciting day to perform, or cheer Sapphire on and our University sports teams!
Each year at Easter, we head on tour with the rest of the University of Sheffield Sports Clubs for a week of fun, sun and sport. It's a great way to end the season and celebrate our successes!
Last year we spent an amazing week in Lloret de Mar with Outgoing.
We can't wait to see what our tour secs have in store for us this year!
