Thank you for your interest in the cheerleading program here at Valdosta State University. VSU cheerleaders are part of the exciting and competitive Athletic Department at Valdosta State. VSU cheerleaders not only provide sideline support at Blazer Football and Basketball home games, but they also compete in NCA's Collegiate National Championship held annually in Daytona Beach, Florida. In addition, both squads participate in a variety of activities and community service programs designed to promote student spirit and participation both on campus and throughout the community. Cheerleaders are also required to uphold a minimum grade requirement and are currently having success in the classroom with a 3.10 cumulative team grade point average.
VSU cheerleaders will be hosting a tryout clinic in March of 2009 (Exact date TBA) from 1 pm to 5 pm. The tryout clinic is designed as a practice to get prospective VSU cheerleaders prepared for what to expect at tryouts. Prospective VSU cheerleaders will be able to stunt, tumble, etc. with members of the current squads. For a clinic registration form and/or for more information, please contact Head Coach Dantè Tennant.
Tryouts for the 2009/2010 squads will be held in April 2009 (Exact date TBA). Tryouts will be held at the VSU P.E. Complex and will begin at 10AM and end at approximately 6PM. Tryout videos are accepted with a valid excuse for not being able to attend. Please contact Head Coach Dantè Tennant for more info.
