Game Day

Motivate the Crowd. Support the Athletes. Create a Home Field Advantage.

Sidelines

On game day, it is the spirit program’s primary role to support their school’s athletic teams and create a positive atmosphere around the game. They do this by using a combination of crowd-effective chants and skills to rally the crowd, communicate to fans, and support the athletes on the field to create a home field advantage. Spirit raising props are vital tools used to get the crowd’s attention and communicate loudly and clearly how they should participate. This should strengthen unity among the fans, encourage sportsmanship, and foster pride and loyalty for the school and community. The focus should always be on the game and elevating the experience of the crowd.

Camp

Preparing for game day begins at a Varsity Spirit summer camp with curriculum centered around being a Crowd Leader, Spirit Raiser, Ambassador, Athlete and Entertainer, all five of which are called upon on game day. Our camp curriculum teaches teams how to use spirit-raising tools like signs, poms and megaphones properly, what types of skills are effective in leading the crowd, and how to act before, during and after the game. At camps, cheerleaders and dancers across the country learn new cheers, sidelines, band chants and skills to take back home to lead the crowd on game days and support the athletes on the field.
