Club History
The University of Alberta Cheer Team was founded in 1919 and began as “The Rooters Club.” They were dedicated to sitting at hockey and basketball games and yelling different chants, as well as hosting pep rallies. Their executive team consisted of a President and “Cheer Leaders.” Over the years, the sport developed from a male-dominated club to the mostly female/ Coed sport we have today.
Recently, we have earned 3 Full Paid Bids to the ICU University World Cup Cheerleading Championships in Orlando, Florida! Our first year we placed 3rd in the Small Coed elite division. The second time we went we placed 1st in the All-Girl elite division! We currently still have our 3rd bid and can’t wait to go compete again!
We have also won Club of the Year several times, notably in 2012, 2016, and 2017, as well as the Platinum Supporting School and Community Spirit Award from the Alberta Cheerleading Association in 2017.
In 2018 we received a sponsorship from the Alberta Cheerleading Association to send 4 members of our team as Canadian representatives to a Game Day camp in Wisconsin. We learned from experts and brought back knowledge and experience that has already developed Game-day programs across Alberta.
