Head Coach Martin is seeking friendly, coachable and dedicated athletes to represent LMU as ambassadors of the Spirit program. If you are trying out for the cheer team, it is recommended you have your back handspring and progressing to a back tuck. Flyers are expected to execute all single leg stunts. Bases and Backspots must be able to base and backspot these skills at a minimum. There will be a competitive and non-competitive team placement selection process this year for both cheer and dance teams. 
 
More advanced tumbling and stunting skills will be required for the competitive cheer team. As well, more elite skills of dance will be required for the competitive dance team. Please see packet for more details. During the school year, the cheer and dance team will hold morning practices three times per week as well as weights twice a week.

Members of the LMU Spirit Squad are expected to attend all home men's and women's basketball games, select volleyball and baseball games, and various community and university events. A select group from each team will travel to the West Coast Conference Tournament in Las Vegas.
