 The Rutgers UniversityĀ Cheer TeamĀ consists of 22 men and 18 women, and follows the NCAA-mandated USA CheerĀ guidelines at games, events, and practice. Team members come from a variety of sports backgrounds, including cheerleading āĀ either in high school or at all-star gyms āĀ gymnastics, football, and wrestling. Their academic majors and minors cover a wide spectrum of disciplines. What unites them as a team is their love of performing āĀ including stunting and tumbling ā and their love of Big Ten sports. We typicallyĀ competeĀ in the D1A Cheer DivisionĀ at the UCA and UDA College Cheerleading and Dance Team National Championships in Orlando, Florida. The Scarlet Knights cheerleaders leadĀ the Rutgers University crowds at home and away football games, men's and women's home basketball games, select wrestling matches and volleyball games,Ā post-season games and tournaments, and other athletic and community events throughout the year. Every week, these student-athletes devote up to 20 hours to practices, games, strength training, special appearances, camps, and competitions. Like all student-athletes at Rutgers, the cheerleaders must maintain high academic standards and carry a full credit load in order to participate. All squad members are expected to be great crowd leaders, tumblers, stunters, and project the image of a collegiate athlete while representing Rutgers University. Follow the Team!
