As a member of the cheer team, you'll be the heart of our SUNO community, bringing energy and enthusiasm to every game and event. With your friendly and outgoing personality, members will be a perfect fit for passing out swag and making sure everyone feels included in the festivities. The cheer team at our school takes on a great deal of responsibility, from representing our school at athletic events to assisting with new student orientation and other activities at the request of the Director of Student Activities and Organization. While any fulltime student can try out for the team, it is important to note that this is a competitive team that requires serious skills, dedication and commitment. Dues are collected from all students to assist with training, but each member must be responsible for purchasing and maintaining their uniform. Furthermore, participation in fundraising activities is a requirement. Being a part of the cheer team is a serious undertaking, but for those who are willing to put in the hard work, the rewards are plentiful.
