FAQs

Is the University of Maine Cheerleading Program a Competitive Squad?
Yes – The University of Maine team competes annually at the NCA College Nationals in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Is this competition funded by the University?
No - Although the University supports the cheerleaders endeavors to attend the National Cheerleading Competition annually, funding for this trip comes from the individual squad members. We provide several fundraising opportunities starting immediately after tryouts.

Is the squad all-female or Coed?
At this time we compete in the intermediate all-girl division. However, if we have enough males tryout we are not opposed to making the jump to coed.

Does the Cheerleading Program offer scholarships?
No, at this time we are not able to provide scholarships for our athletes on the cheer team.

What other sports teams do the cheerleaders support?
The cheerleaders cheer at all home football games, as well as home men's & women's basketball games.

When are tryouts held?
Tryouts are typically held at the end of April-Early may after we return from nationals.  We do tryouts early to give time for fundraising.
