RUMBO – present, past and future

The first important milestone to mention was in 2011, a number of students were summoned by the School's Student Association to form a team to participate in the 2011 National Student Competition of Literature - Sports - Arts (U-league). On September 21, 2012, the Rumbo Cheerleading Club was officially established and has been operating continuously until today.

At first, the team operated in extremely poor conditions in terms of material equipment and expertise. Understanding that, the School's Student Union invited Mr. Quynh atCenter for Physical Education and Sports, VNU as coach, also asked for help from a foreign female aerobics teacher to better guide the team.

Although the establishment process was somewhat rushed, what the team has achieved is undeniable. In 2011, the first year of entering the U-league, Rumbo Cheerleading Club won second place in the Northern region and continued to maintain its form the following year.

2013 was another breakthrough when Rumbo Cheerleading Club surpassed Foreign Trade University, the Cheerleading championship candidate in the Northern region, to win the highest title. Following that victory, Rumbo happily brought home the Bronze Medal in the National Literature - Sports - Fine Arts Student Competition Finals.

In the first days of 2014, the team brought good news to the entire school with the 4th place in Cheerleading in Ho Chi Minh City. These are extremely encouraging signs for the more successful development of Rumbo Club in the future.

Sharing about the team's future development plans, Mr. Phan Thanh Nam, Club Manager, said: "The whole team is still practicing every week to become a more professional Cheerleading Club in the future, and we still regularly participate in tournaments to gain more experience. Currently, the Club is also trying to train newer factors to create a young and talented generation of Cheerleaders, hoping to have positive results soon."

“Maintaining the current form and improving the professional level” is all that Rumbo needs at the moment. Let’s wait for the next good news that Rumbo Cheerleading Club brings as well as the further development of the team in the future.
