Cheerleading

Wheaton Cheer The Wheaton College Cheer Team is a club sport that strives to encourage, build up, and be a voice of hope and support to Wheaton Football and Basketball throughout the year. As a team. We seek to create a loving, supportive community of cheerleaders who uplift and inspire one another.

We have two seasons; Football and Basketball. Football season spans from the start of the school year to early November. Basketball season picks up at the end of November and goes through late February. At the end of each season we give a halftime performance! Our Football performance lands on Family Weekend, showing off what we have learned to our families and providing entertainment for the crowd. Our Basketball halftime show is during our very last game, bringing our season to a close with one last performance.

We hold tryouts for Football season during the first couple weeks of classes where   we will teach you everything you need to know. Everyone should give the team a shot! No previous experience is necessary. All we ask is that you come with a big smile and a good attitude. Throughout the course of our season, we will learn cheers, dances, stunts, and more, as well as participate in various events.

Lastly, we like to center ourselves around a team verse each year, and for the 2026-2027 season, we have chosen Philippians 2:3-4. This verse reminds us to maintain a selfless heart posture as we strive to support those around us.
