2025-26 Competition & Spirit Cheer Team Recruitment
Carlow Cheerleading is going competitive, and we are in the process of building a dedicated team for the 2025-2026 season.
Carlow Cheerleading is going competitive, and we are in the process of building a dedicated team for the 2025-2026 season. We will offer two opportunities to cheer for Carlow University: a competition team and a spirit team.
The competition squad will focus on the competitive and sport aspect of cheerleading by attending local cheer competitions in the fall and winter before making a go at NCA Cheer & Dance College Nationals in Daytona, Fla. The competition team will also have some spirit and campus engagement requirements.
The spirit squad will require less experience and focus on cheering on the Celtics at select men's and women's home soccer games, all men's and women's home basketball games, occasional volleyball games, as well as participating in select campus engagement events.
If you would like to be a part of either squad, click the link below to register for tryouts and keep an eye on your email regarding next steps. Currently enrolled students may also submit interest.
