Cheer FAQS
What's the time
commitment of cheering at Dodge?
The cheerleading
season is year round. After making the squad, you will practice three to
four times throughout the summer. You will also attend a collegiate
cheerleading camp in late July or early August. Once school starts, we
usually have three two-hour long practices a week plus games. We do travel
for a couple of regular season football and basketball games plus all
playoffs. Once basketball season is over, you will have the opportunity to
judge tryouts at various local high schols.
What are the skill
requirements to make the squad?
There are no "required
skills" but I am looking for athletic cheerleaders
who are willing to
learn basic stunting and tumbling techniques.
Is there a weight or
size requirement?
Nope. However, as with
any sport, certain physical attributes can make the sport much easier or
more difficult for you. In cheerleading, stunting is easier for smaller
women and stronger men. If that doesn't describe you, you could still make
the squad, but your skills will have to be that much better to overcome your
size/strength disadvantage.
Do you give
cheerleading scholarships?
Yes, all members of
the Conquistador spirit teams will receive a tuition and loan of books
scholarship. Members will need to maintain a 2.0 GPA and complete 12 credit
hours
How much does it cost
to attend Dodge?
As a member of
the Conquistador Spirit teams, your tuition and book will be paid for. The
only cost that a member will accrue, will be fees and housing cost. Here is
a
worksheet that shows
you a breakdown of the cost.
When and where are
tryouts?
See the
Tryouts page.
