Responsibilities and Privileges of Louisiana State University Cheerleaders: LSU Cheerleading is a major time commitment for both spring and fall semesters, as well as, the Thanksgiving and Christmas break. The Cheerleading year begins in mid July with "pre-camp," followed by a week at the UCA College Spirit Camp in Alabama. The year does not end until the end of post- season basketball travel, in the spring. Practice is held 3-4 times per week in the early afternoon or evening during both the fall and spring semesters. Early morning strength and conditioning training takes place twice a week. The spirit squad cheers at LSU football home and away games, men's and women's basketball including post-season tournaments, volleyball and gymnastics home events as well as competes at UCA’s Collegiate Championships. Squad members also make public appearances and perform many other valuable tasks for the LSU Athletic Department and the University. Just as other student-athletes, cheerleaders have the opportunity to "letter" at LSU and receive letter jackets, plaques, etc.
