A Tradition of Excellence

The UNCW cheerleading program’s first priority is the promotion and support of UNCW Athletics. In addition to cheering at men’s and women’s basketball games, the team performs at various functions and participates at numerous community service appearances. There are two different squads that make up the UNCW Cheerleading team: a coed squad (16) and an all girl squad (16). Squad placement will be determined at tryouts.
Camp: Team(s) will be attending NCA College Camp. NCA Myrtle Beach Resort - August 9-11. If you can't make the camp date, trying out is not encouraged.
Competition: Teams(s) may compete depending on skill level.
