Welcome, Future Tiger Cheerleaders!
We’re thrilled that you’re interested in becoming a member of the Iowa Wesleyan University Cheerleading Squad! Iowa Wesleyan University Cheerleading Squad is an inclusive team, welcoming to all those with school spirit.
Tryouts for current IW campus students interested in being a part of the Cheerleading Squad will be held each academic year towards the end of the spring semester. Tryout information will be posted around campus and on the Tiger Guide App.
Any interested incoming freshman and transfers, and current students who can’t make tryouts, may submit an audition video.
We have four categories that are involved in tryouts and they should also be in audition videos.
- Cheers
- Prepare one cheer that they believe best showcases their abilities and school spirit.
- Jumps
- Please pick two jumps that you are comfortable doing. This can be any jump you feel shows your skills the best.
- Answer three questions. Please limit your answers to a maximum of 5 minutes total.
- What does it mean to you to be a cheerleader?
- What do you bring to the squad?
- What has been your greatest accomplishment/pride while being involved in Cheerleading?
- Extras
- Put together a stunt group, show off tumbling skills, or any other things you think we should see as we consider you to join our squad!
Videos can be sent via email to lashawnda.roberts1@iw.edu and d.vanness@iw.edu. These can be shared as a Google Drive link, but please make sure to allow access for both coaches to view your video.
