General Information

The University of Georgia Athletic Association Cheerleading General Information

Unlike some schools that have both a Varsity and a JV squad, the UGA cheerleading program consists of one Varsity squad of twelve couples.
Scholarships are given to all members of The University of Georgia cheerleading squad that adhere to the “performance and standards contract” every cheerleader is required to sign.
In order to try out, all high school seniors must provide a copy of their UGA letter of acceptance, their medical insurance policy number, and proof of a recent (within the last 12 months) physical from a physician.
All other students, including transfer students, must be enrolled at UGA at the time of tryouts and have at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA.
Graduate students are not eligible to tryout unless they have been a member of the UGA squad as an undergraduate and have eligibility available.
One is eligible to cheer on the UGA cheerleading squad for a total of three years. Transfer students who cheered collegiately at another school must count those years in their eligibility total.
Tryouts will be held in the spring over a weekend. The Hairy Dawg mascot and Mic Man will also be selected at this time
