All right, my friend really wants to cheer for LU in fall 2008. We were talking and she said someone said LU has two different cheer squads. I told her that if any one knew it would be you guys on flamefans.com so she asked me to ask. How many cheer squads are there? And if you have any info about the squad that isn't on the website, I'm sure she would love to know that, too. Come on, don't let me down!

checking- standby

(this will require some research)

I believe there is a football squad and a bball squad- but I may be wrong there.

in the meantime- here's a few pages for you and your friend to review: http://www.flamefans.com/forums/viewtop ... eerleading

according to THESE posts from a member of the squad (or at least she WAS last season) we have 2 teams, one for NCAA sports and a traveling "All-star" squad which competes in meets of some kinds.

I am a current cheerleader, so I figured that one of us should post on here since everyone's talking about us. Our coach's name is Stefanie Copp and she graduated from UVA 2 years ago. She cheered there, so she has a good insight on what collegiate cheerleading should look like. Hopefully everyone's noticed that we are trying to rebuild our team so that we can be on the same level as big college cheerleading programs. I feel that we look ten times better than we did last year. Last year was a rough year with a coach change in the middle of the year, so I hope no one formulates opinions based solely on what they saw last year. We are actually conditioning as a team, as well as on our own, and that is making us stronger on the sidelines. We are not going to compete this year, because of it being a "rebuilding" year, and UVA cheerleaders, what our coach once was, do not compete. A lot of us are on Competition Teams outside of Liberty though. So, juggling 2 teams, school, work-outs, and jobs is pretty rough and I hope people will give us some respect. Unfortunately, basketball season will not be exciting because of new NCAA safety rules on what we are allowed to do. It's not because we're a bad team, it's NCAA. Another thing I'd like to address that thankfully no one has complained about on here, is about our uniforms. I get a lot of crap from people because of how short are skirts are. I have even had a R.A try to give me reps for my skirt. The school chooses those uniforms and approves them. We do not choose them, so we are not "whores", as I have overheard people calling us. If you are a supporter of our team, thank you so much. We really appreciate you guys!

Thanks for the support!
Yes, it's and All-Star team. All-Star teams are primarily for kids anywhere from 3-18 years old. All-star teams have their own gyms and are not affiliated with any school. All these teams do is compete. We are on what's called and Open Team. It's an all-star team for anyone over 18 years old. We will compete throughout VA and we are able to do some crazy stunts and tumbling that's not allowed at the college level.

I THINK I interpreted that one correctly.

someone will doubtless correct me if I mis-spoke.

I will just go ahead an answer... Football has a squad
Then most of the time the football cheerleaders are also basketball cheerleaders
The football squad is bigger than the basketball ones
and I know for a fact we have 2 squads for basketball, but they all practice together and If someone from one squad wants to do a basketball game they arent scheduled for most the time they are allowed to do it anyway.

BUT!... If you are on one of the basketball squads dont hold the FREAKIN SIGNS in front of the fans trying to see during the game because it sucks ... Right SJ?
