Cheerleading Program Information
Cheerleading at Indiana Wesleyan is a varsity sport requiring the same athleticism and dedication as other collegiate level sports. Our program incorporates strength training and conditioning, skill specialization, and safety training. Athletes involved in cheerleading commit to community outreach activities such as fundraisers, clinics, and special appearances. Cheer team provides a unique opportunity to use the talents God has given you through the ministry of cheerleading.
The IWU Red Cheer Team is a co-ed competition team with the capacity of twelve women and twelve men. This team has qualified for the UCA National Collegiate Championships for the past eight years with top ten finishes in Division II. The Red Team cheers for all home men's and women's basketball games.

Tryouts are held in early April. The tryout experience is a relaxed clinic type atmosphere with an emphasis on how quickly the skills and material can be learned. Scholarships Are Available for the top ten to fifteen individuals. Scholarships are based on tryout scores and financial need.
