The team practices twice per week for two hours per practice, as well as three workout sessions per week. All cheerleaders are required to participate in community service and crowd appearances throughout the year.
All cheerleaders must attend a mandatory summer stunting camp at AU to learn and sharpen their skills. Following camp, in preparation for the upcoming season, practices are before classes resume.
