The Wheaton College Cheer Team is a club sport that strives to encourage, build up, and be a voice of hope and support to our Wheaton Athletic teams at football and basketball games throughout the year. Together 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 beginning of September 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 performance is during our very last basketball game, bringing our season to a close with one last performance.
As a team we hold tryouts in the fall, during the second or third week of classes. Everyone should give our team a chance! There are no requirements to try out. All we ask is that you come with a huge smile and a willingness to give something new a try! Throughout the course of our season, we will learn cheers, dances, stunts, and two halftime routines!!
Lastly, we like to center ourselves around a team verse each year, and for the 2025-2026 season we have chosen Ephesians 4:9-12. This verse reminds us of the importance and strength of working together as a team and that no one is alone in the beautiful world our God has created.
