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.
