Alabama Crimson Tide Cheerleaders



CHEERLEADING/BIG AL INFORMATION

Our cheerleading program consists of two squads with a minimum of: White Squad ( 7 females and 7 males ) and Crimson Squad ( 7 females and 9 males ). We also have 3 mascots ( Big AL ) . The White Squad cheers for women’s basketball, gymnastics, volleyball, as well as, all home football games. The Crimson Squad cheers for all home and away football games and men’s basketball. Members of both squads are eligible for spots on our Nationals competitive squad.

Cheerleaders are expected to schedule their classes around the practice times determined by the coach. In addition to practice time, the cheerleaders are required to attend weight-lifting and aerobics sessions.

TRYOUT INFORMATION

The try-outs for both squads are held in April each year. On the first day of clinic all candidates will be evaluated. The Cheerleader Coach will approve which squad each candidate may audition for after demonstration of skills. Candidates are evaluated at each clinic session thereafter, and those candidates remaining on the tryout roster until the final clinic will advance to the official and final tryout.

A complete application, which is located on our web site, along with an official letter of acceptance from the Admissions office and a copy of a physician’s physical examination release dated within the past 12 months must be received by the Cheerleader Coach one week prior to the first clinic.

Squad members are awarded scholarship money towards their University tuition.
