MISSISSIPPI STATE SPIRIT SQUADS

Welcome to the official home of the Mississippi State Spirit Squads. View information about our squads, upcoming clinics, and tryouts for All-Girl Cheer, Coed Cheer, Dance Team, and the Mascot program.

ALL-GIRL & COED CHEER OVERVIEW
All-Girl and Coed Cheer are utilized for sideline cheerleading for all regular season home/away football games. Both cheer squads get split into two equal squads (Maroon & White) and split all home Volleyball, Men's basketball, and Women's basketball games throughout the season. Selection of these members will be at the coach’s discretion based on tryout performance each year.

DANCE TEAM OVERVIEW
Dance Team is utilized for sideline and performances at all regular season home football games. For Men's and Women's basketball, the team is split into two equal sideline squads (Maroon & White) with occasional full-team performances as well. Maroon & White squads also split home weekend series during the Baseball regular season.
 
MASCOT PROGRAM OVERVIEW

All members are utilized in-suit during a home football game day. Two members travel for all regular season away football games. All other sports are assigned respectively to specific members for ease of scheduling, as well as continuity of character throughout that season’s duration. Men’s Basketball, Women’s Basketball, Baseball and Olympic Sports respectively receive a devoted mascot. Members are also responsible for handling throughout the year for one other sport as well. All private and request events outside of sporting events are assigned on a volunteer basis.

SCHOLARSHIPS:
Scholarships are awarded to every member of the MSU Spirit Squads who are in good academic standing after each semester. Amounts are rewarded based on years of service to the team.
In addition, ten 25% out-of-state waivers are awarded to students who qualify, based on years of service to the team.

ACADEMICS
Students must be enrolled in and pass at least 12 hours per semester with a minimum 2.0 GPA.
Students are allowed one ‘grace’ semester under a 2.0 GPA (still a member of the team, but scholarships withheld), but will be removed from the team if there are two semesters below 2.0 GPA.
 
UNIFORMS & APPAREL

Uniforms are provided and returned at the end of each year to be reissued each fall. Sponsored athletic practice attire, shoes, and bags are also awarded each fall and capable of being kept by each student upon completion of the year.
 
TRAVEL
Majority of football and basketball travel will be via chartered bus. However, students are required to return to campus at the beginning of the Fall season and during Fall, Winter, and Spring breaks for regular season games at their own personal cost.
