Cheering
at Texas State
Mission | What
you get to do | Perks
Cheering
at Texas State can be one of the most rewarding experiences of
your life. There's no greater way to show your pride for your
school than supporting the athletic program.
Texas
State Spirit Program (cheerleaders & mascots)
serve as ambassadors for the university and are at the forefront of
spirit building, particularly at Bobcat athletic events. In addition
to providing spirit for the Bobcats at all home football, volleyball,
and men’s and women’s basketball games, selected members
from the All-Women, Coed, and Mascot squads often get the opportunity
to represent Texas State beyond the borders of San Marcos by traveling
to away athletic events or providing spirit at university sponsored
functions.
However,
at Texas State cheering is more than just spirit fingers and
supporting
athletics. Cheerleaders at Texas State are considered athletes
themselves as they compete throughout the year at various cheer/mascot
competitions.
Annually,
the spirit program competes at the Universal Cheerleading Association’s
College Cheerleading National Championships which are held every
January at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando,
Florida. The program has seen much success in recent years having won
cheerleading championships in 2000, 2003 and 2006 and a mascot championship
in 2006.
Not
only that, but Texas State is closely connected in the cheerleading
community having the President and CEO of the Universal Cheerleaders
Association as alum of Texas State.
If
you are talented, spirited and want to have an awesome way to show
pride for your school while receiving a stellar education then Texas
State is the place for you.
