Welcome to Belhaven University Cheerleading. The purpose of our program is first and foremost to uphold the mission of Belhaven University Athletics by leading athletes to mature in every aspect of their life while honoring Christ.
Our responsibility is to support intercollegiate athletics for the Belhaven Blazers!
Membership and Eligibility
Our program is open to all female and male students who attend or have been accepted to Belhaven University.
All Belhaven Cheerleaders must have the desire to progress their skill level. Current minimum preferences include:
- A mile in under nine minutes
- Standing back handspring
- Running back handspring
- Combination jump to back handspring
- One-legged stunts
