Overview
At Baylor, varsity cheerleaders are boys and girls in the Upper School (grades 9-12).
A student can try out for the squad at the end of their eighth grade year.
BAYLOR'S 2019-20 CHEER SQUAD (ABOVE) WAS A CHAMPION AT THE TN EXTREME AND SMOKY MOUNTAIN REGIONAL COMPETITIONS AND RUNNER-UP AT TWO MORE REGIONAL EVENTS. THE SQUAD EARNED FOUR DIFFERENT BIDS TO THE NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL CHEERLEADING CHAMPIONSHIP AT THE ESPN SPORTS CENTER, WALT DISNEY WORLD RESORT, WHERE THEY FINISHED FOURTH OUT OF 37 TEAMS.
- Program Principles - Cheerleading is fun, but it also requires a lot of hard work and dedication. Baylor cheerleaders attend camps each summer along with hours of practice before and during each season. Here is a list of skills that cheerleaders are asked to work on:
- Cheer (Motions, sharpness)
- Dance – Girls only (Rhythm, technique)
- Jumps (Toe Touch/ Jump of Choice – Height, form)
- Tumbling (Skills, timing, technique)
- Voice Projection (Loud, clear, natural)
- Facial Expressions/ Smile/ Enthusiasm
- Overall Appearance (Spirit, Ability)
- Stunting (Lifts, Pyramids, Formations)
- Safety Certification (Provided through UCA)
- Varsity Squads - both squads are by tryout only. A student can tryout for one or both teams. Members of either squad are eligible for All-American honors.
- Football Competition Cheer - Cheer at Baylor football games and in cheer competitions. UCA Camp and Game Day Competing begin in the summer months and extend through February.
- Basketball Cheer - Cheer on sidelines at Baylor basketball games. A UCA Camp, with UCA staff, will be held at Baylor
- Middle School Squads - both squads are by tryout only.
- Football Cheer - Cheer at all Middle School football games at home and in town. UCA Camp, at Baylor, is required. Members are eligible for All- American honors.
- Basketball Cheer - Cheer on sidelines at Baylor basketball games at home and in town.
As cheerleaders, we are SPIRIT leaders in the school and we believe each team member makes a difference!
