The McGill University Cheerleading team works to promote
school spirit, fan involvement and athletic success within the McGill
Community. The team consists of anywhere between 20 and 30 female and
male members. We are a competitive squad training 2-4 days per week
depending on upcoming events. At these 3-hour practices, we combine
stunting, basket tossing, cheering, dancing and gymnastics into
routines for competitions and performances.
The team can be seen cheering at all home Redmen Football
games at Molson Stadium as well as at Redmen and Martlet
Basketball home games in the D. Love Competition Hall. In
addition, the team holds showcases at the Currie Gym before major
competitions to display their routine to friends and family in the
Montreal area.
Competitions
Recent competitions include a Quebec in the Montreal area, PCA
Nationals in Brampton, Ontario, and the Mardi Gras Nationals in Hershey, PA. In the 2008-2009 season, the team plans to compete at
three competitions including:
- a local Quebec competition: November 2009
- PCA Nationals in Brampton, Ontario: November 2009
- a US competition in the Spring of 2009
Team Fees
2009-2010's team will have a projected team fee of
$200/semester to cover competition expenses; much of this cost is
fundraised with the help of an enthusiastic fundraiser-coordinating
team.
