Founded in 2015, Dynasty Reign Allstars (DRA) has grown from a passionate grassroots programme into one of the leading Allstar cheer organisations in the Hastings and St Leonards area, with talented athletes travelling in from across the region, including Rye and Camber.

Now celebrating 11 seasons, DRA has built a strong reputation for passion, performance and perseverance, developing young athletes who consistently compete at the very highest levels of the sport.

Season 10 marked a truly historic chapter for the club. Three teams travelled to the prestigious Allstar World Championships, returning home with an extraordinary set of podium finishes — Gold, Silver and Bronze. For families making the regular journey from Rye and Camber to training sessions and competitions, it was a moment of immense pride.

The season also saw the programme secure additional bids for the 2026 Allstar World Championships, alongside multiple first place finishes, Grand Champion titles and Judges’ Choice awards throughout the year.

Wendy Summers, a Rye parent whose child competes with DRA said: “Being part of a team like this has changed my child in the best possible way. Cheer isn’t just about routines and medals, it’s about learning to trust others, to be accountable, and to lift each other up when things don’t go perfectly. They’ve learned resilience, discipline and how to work towards something bigger than themselves. The confidence they’ve gained doesn’t stay on the mat — it comes home, into school, into everyday life. As a parent, that’s far more valuable than any trophy.

“Dynasty Reign Allstars attended the ICC competition in Guildford in February and did amazingly well. Local girls Belle and Disco competed in the Royalty squad in the Senior Level 2 and came first in their category. Newcomer Eviee, who lives in Stone, was in Opal squad with Disco and Belle, and this team came third on Saturday.”

Dynasty Reign Allstars isn’t just about sport — it builds confidence, friendships, physical skills and resilience. Season 11 beckons.
