Cheerleading Team
Hillsdale College
The Charger Cheer Team is an on-campus club team that seeks to promote spirit among crowds and students at Hillsdale College sporting events. Accepting all skill levels, a season includes cheering for both football games and men’s basketball games. Performance includes cheering on the sideline, stunting on the sideline, and performing a halftime dance routine.
Captains host in-person tryouts twice a year: once in April and once in December. Remote tryouts are available for those who cannot travel to campus for in-person tryouts. Those interested in Charger Cheer do not need to have any experience with sideline cheer or dancing.
Once a member of the team, a cheerleader is required to attend Cheer Camp prior to the upcoming season. Cheer Camp consists of learning the team’s list of cheers, dance routines, stunting, and cheer mechanics and etiquette. Camp is a great bonding period for girls and is routinely cited as one of their favorite times each season!
Chargers Cheerleaders are expected to be spirited in both cheers and dances and serve as campus ambassadors for Chargers Athletics. The team is a great way for girls to get more involved on campus.
