INHERENT RISK OF CHEERLEADING
Cheerleading is reasonably safe as long as certain guidelines are followed, but there is the inherent risk of injury
as in any athletic related activity. Cheerleading is an anaerobic/aerobic activity that includes jumping, stunting,
motions, dancing, and tumbling. All physicals and/ or medical histories must be on file with the ECU Athletic
Training Room before you may participate in tryouts, practices, and games. Keep your athletic trainer informed
of all injuries and/or chronic conditions.

1. NEVER stunt or tumble unless a coach or a coach’s designee is present.
2. Always practice in the presence of a qualified coach.
3. Always warm up appropriately before cheering (practice and games) by jogging and stretching.
4. Do not attempt a stunt that you do not know how to perform safely and the coach has not checked off.
5. Always use attentive spotters when stunting.
6. Always cheer in an area free from obstruction.
7. Always use mats or a grassy area when stunting during practice.
8. Do not stunt on uneven ground, wet surfaces, and concrete. Do not stunt in cold or rainy weather.
9. Never talk, laugh, or play around when performing a stunt.
10. Report all injuries to the athletic trainer as soon as they occur.
11. Follow all athletic trainer and physician recommendations.
12. Lift weights to increase strength and guard against injuries.
13. Always wear shoes and clothing appropriate for cheerleading.
14. Never wear jewelry or any kind or chew gum when cheering (practice or games)
15. Always have hair pulled back from your face and shoulders.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When are tryouts?
ECU cheerleading tryouts are held each May prior to the upcoming season.
Does the ECU cheerleading and mascot program offer scholarships?
Yes, we do offer partial scholarships that are donated from sources outside of the
Athletic Department. The amount available depends on the amount that is donated each
year. Scholarships are available to students on their third and fourth year with the
program and if they have an overall GPA of 2.50 or higher.
Do you have a coed and an all girl squad?
ECU is proud to have opportunities on both coed and all girl teams. Our program
consists of three teams: Purple Coed (advanced skill level), Gold Coed and All Girl.
Is the coaching staff certified?
All members of the coaching staff are AACA Certified and follow AACA and NCAA
Guidelines.
Does your team compete?
Our main priority is to serve as ambassadors for the ECU Athletic Teams and the
University. If our schedule and budget permits us to travel to a competition and still fulfill
our role with our teams, we will compete.. The decision to compete will be made on a
yearly basis, based on our obligations to our athletic teams and University.
Can I tryout by video?
It is the policy of the coaching staff not to accept video prior to tryouts. It is our goal to
keep the tryout with an equal advantage for everyone, with that in mind we like to see
everyone at tryouts without any preconceived judging.
What I can do to prepare for tryouts?
The best way to prepare yourself for tryouts is to continue sharpening your stunting and
tumbling skills. We also run four times a week for about 30 minutes each run.
Endurance is a must to make it through tryouts, the season, and continue with the
program. Proper nutrition and adequate hydration are very important. Eat well balanced
meals and drink lots of fluids. Many do not make it through the first day of tryouts
because they did not eat or drink enough prior to practice.
Do I need a physical from my doctor before tryouts?
Each participant is required to have a complete physical signed by a physician and a
sickle cell solubility test prior to tryouts.
Does the cheerleading / mascot program offer waivers for out of state
participants?
There are no waivers or tuition exceptions for out of state students.
The tryouts begin before my dorm opens, can I request an early move in?
Yes, because we try to get tryouts completed before classes start, we are able to
schedule an early move in for the dorms. There is an additional cost, however we are
able to pass along our programs discounted rate because we require you be here to
participate. This will be scheduled upon your registration for tryouts.
When are practice times and what do they entail?
All three teams practice Sundays 5-8 p.m., Tuesdays 5:30 - 8:30 p.m. , and Thursdays
5:30 - 8:30 p.m. We also lift weights with the ECU Athletics Strength and Conditioning
coaches Tuesday and Thursdays from 6 - 7:30 am. All practices and weight training are
mandatory. *Please note that in the first two weeks prior to our first home football game
we add additional practices to our schedule.
How much time does it require to participate with the program?
Our season begins one-and-one-half weeks prior to classes beginning in August
(sometimes earlier if we attend a camp) and continues through end of April. With game
days included we spend up to 20 hours per week participating in practices, weights,
games, and appearances. Cheerleading is a huge commitment! It is also very
rewarding! It is possible to participate with the program and be successful academically.
It takes self discipline, organization, and the ability to set priorities.
What team cheers for games?
Both teams are on the field for each football game. The Purple Coed team travels to
away games, bowl games, and men's home basketball games. The All Girl and Gold
Coed Teams cheer at several home volleyball games and alternating women's
basketball games. All three teams make appearances as needed for other ECU Athletic
Teams.
Can I participate on an All Star Team or Club while cheering on the ECU
Cheerleading Team? No. Active Members of the ECU Cheerleading team are not
permitted to participate on other teams during our season. Our season runs from
August to the middle of April. There will be no exceptions to this policy.
