Who wants to be an HBCU Cheerleader????

I plan to cheer for WSSU in the fall. I think that they are the best in the CIAA and they just don't have anyone on Varsity because they have a JV team as well. Though it also gives those of us who need a little cheering maturing to get that before being on Varsity. I have been cheering for 12 yrs. Both sideline and competition. Though in high school we weren't to "BLACK" until my senior year and thats when the squad was led by black girls and we got a little soul and now i can't wait to do my thing at WSSU. so rep your school and how long you have been doing your thing and what type of cheerleading you have been into!

Good luck to everyone trying out for a college squad!! My only advice would be to primarily work on tumbling... most squads require some form of it (at least a back handspring). And make sure you can dance, too, and aren't just confined to stick cheers. (That used to irk me when girls tried out who couldn't dance... a big part of being on an HBCU cheerleading squad is dance.) Good luck again!

Does anyone know the requirements for Howard University cheerleading?

Im not a cheerleader but I know Morgan's cheerleaders are goods. they won 3rd in the 2006 National Cheerleading Association Championships which is nationwide and consists of all schools. They were the first HBCU to make it to that level of cheerleading championships. The Morgan State Cheerleaders have never finished less than 2nd at Black College Nationals or HBCU Nationals.
