Please read the information below AS WELL AS the tryout packet carefully for details regarding tryouts for the Rambler Dance Team and Cheer Team. Specific dates and deadlines are found in the tryout packet.
The Program Coaches will coordinate the Spirit Team tryouts. A skills evaluation/tryout will be conducted in April for the following season. A second tryout may be held in the fall at the coaches' discretion to fill remaining positions.
Three squads will comprise the Loyola University Chicago Spirit Teams:
1. CHEERLEADERS, a coed (or all-girl) cheerleading squad
2. DANCE TEAM, a pom squad
3. LU WOLF MASCOTS
The Dance Team members will be selected on the basis of athleticism, personality, enthusiasm and dance ability. The Cheer Team will include all of the above, adding both cheerleading and gymnastic skill.
The Spirit Team administration reserves the right to refuse a tryout or a position to any person for reasons of academic deficiencies or violations against the University's standards of conduct, any past performances which dishonored the intercollegiate athletics programs at Loyola, or physical liability.
Non-returning Spirit Team members and/or captains will help conduct the skill evaluations and tryouts. The Cheer Team tryout may include a cheer, fight song, tumbling and partner stunts. The Dance Team tryout will include a dance routine and appropriate skills. All material will be announced prior to the evaluation/tryout. Online links to tryout material are found in the Tryout Packet.
All returning team members are required to tryout each year.
If you have further questions about our tryouts, please email jbuhaycastro@luc.edu (cheer), lcaputo1@luc.edu (dance), or rsullivan2@luc.edu (LU Wolf).Â
