The University of Florida Cheerleading Program is composed of two teams: Florida Coed, 10-12 Male/Female stunt partner couples, and Gator All-Girl, with 2-3 stunt groups. Both squads have the opportunity to cheer for Football, Men & Women’s Basketball, Volleyball, & Gymnastics. All team members are required to be full-time students and make regular appearances representing UF at alumni, athletic, charitable & community events and activities.
General Requirements
You must be a full-time University of Florida student with a minimum grade point average of 2.5, semester and cumulative. If you are an incoming freshman or an incoming transfer student you must have an official letter of acceptance attached to your application. All students currently enrolled at UF must attach a copy of their student ID.
Practices
Both teams practice together 2-3 times per week and work on tumbling and stunting skills, as well as preparing for various upcoming appearances and games. Practice times and days will vary each semester depending on facility availability and events. All practices are held inside the Football Indoor Practice Facility or O'Connell Center.
Scholarships
The University Athletic Association and Mr. 2 Bits Scholarship Fund provide partial scholarships for both the Orange and Blue Team at the end of each semester. These scholarships are awarded based on years of participation, scholastic achievement and financial need.
Work-outs
All Florida Gators Cheerleaders follow an individualized work-out program developed by our strength and conditioning coach in the South End Zone Weight Room. Both teams condition 2 times per week during scheduled squad appointments. Gainesville Health & Fitness Center also provides both squads with memberships to accommodate fitness needs outside of scheduled workouts.
