They do not receive any scholarship money but they do receive a Rutgers Varsity Letter. Our all-girl squad is a new addition to our program this year. It consists of women who will cheer some football and basketball games and compete in a national competition. A majority of what the teams do is stunting, pyramid buidling, and tumbling. A lot of the members have gymnastic backgrounds and most cheered in High School.
Practices are three nights a week with a stronger concentration before competition.
They are also required to perform at community and charitable functions, participate in fundraising and be a strong representative of the University. Tryout Information E-mail Rutgers Cheerleading Athletics Home 2001 Rutgers University Division of Intercollegiate Athletics. All rights reserved.
