Here you will find information on the University of Dayton Cheerleading program and Mascot, Rudy Flyer.
Tryouts for the 2009-2010 season HAVE NOT HAPPENED YET! Due to construction in some of the athletics locations on campus we were short for space this spring. We are currently in the process of planning a summer tryout. Please be patient and check back to this website for any future updates on tryout dates. Thank you for your patience. (updated 5/18/09)
The University of Dayton has two cheerleading squads and one mascot. The Blue squad (co-ed) is composed of seven to ten females and seven to ten males that cheer for football and men's basketball. The Red squad (all-girl) is composed of fifteen to eighteen females and cheers for home football games and women's basketball. The Rudy Flyer mascot has two or three students that wear the suit each year. Both cheer squads and Rudy make regular appearances representing the University at alumni, athletic, charitable, and public relations activities.
Cheerleaders are available to assist with judging tryouts and choreographing competition routines or game material. If you would like help in any of these areas, please e-mail daytoncheer@yahoo.com
