AU Cheerleading

A talented group of AU Eagle Cheerleaders provide the lift and energy for Eagle athletes and fans. The varsity squad consists of sixteen female members that cheer at all football games and all home basketball games. The varsity squad also accompanies the teams to any NCAA tournament games. Each girl on the varsity squad is awarded a $500 scholarship.

The junior varsity squad has ten female members that cheer at all home football games and all home women's basketball games. No traveling is required.

Both squads practice twice per week for two hours per practice. Practices are held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.

All cheerleaders attend a summer stunting camp held here at AU to learn and sharpen their skills. Following camp, in preparation for the upcoming season, practice is held before classes resume.

Anyone who has been accepted to Ashland University by the tryout date may participate. Tumbling is not mandatory for the tryout, but it is helpful.
