Welcome to the EIU Cheer Team Site
What we are all about.
The purpose of cheerleaders is to convey school spirit while supporting the competitive sporting events of the school. Cheerleaders act as liaisons between the spectators and the playing team by incorporating cheers, dances, and other crowd involvement techniques. They are also representatives of the school and community. The cheerleading program's team-based activities promote fitness, trust, self-esteem, enthusiasm, and fun!As a cheerleader, students will perform cheers, stunts, dances, tumbling, and many other activities that involve spectator involvement. Additional activities include cheerleading camps, team-building courses, and cheerleading competitions to improve skill level, teamwork, and self-confidence. We recognize that all our members are here at the university to be students, because of that we focus also on tips, principles and skills that will enhance their scholastic as well as their future endeavors.
