Practices begin right after camp.
When classes are in session, the practices are held Monday through Friday from 5 to 7 p.m. The Ferris Cheer Team's season includes both football and basketball. The season ends in mid-April. During the season, the team not only performs at the games, but also participates in many extra events. Some events include the homecoming parade, the Bulldog Birthday Bash, hockey games at the Van Andel Arena, spring and winter commencements, alumni functions, and many local community events. To tryout and remain on the team, individuals must have a 2.0 GPA and have maintained 12 credit hours per semester.
