About Our Organization
The Marist University Cheerleading Team aims to spread PRIDE and UNITY to all the students, faculty, alumni, and fans who are in support of the Marist Red Foxes. The team attends all HOME Football games, as well as all HOME Men's, and Women's Basketball games. The Marist University Cheerleading Team also travels with the Men's/Women's Basketball teams to the MAAC Tournament in Atlantic City, NJ, and other long-distance tournaments. The program also attends special events such as The Walk to Defeat ALS, The Italian American Festival, Special Olympics and many more.
Amongst spreading spirit throughout the Marist Community, the Marist University Cheerleading Team has competed in a variety of competitions.

Join the Team
We are very grateful to have talented athletes try out for the team each year. Our program is fortunately getting stronger and stronger as the seasons go on; therefore, it is more challenging each year to make the squad. The cheerleading candidates are judged not only on athleticism, but also on school/team spirit, ability to work with others and take accountability, academics, and reliability.
Please email Coach Eliza at Eliza.Cintron@marist.edu or our Captains at Cheerleading.Club@marist.edu for more information about how you can join our program.
Practice Schedule
The Marist University Cheerleading Team practices are typically held four times per week for 2-3 hours. All games, practices and events are MANDATORY. Cheerleaders are expected to maintain and improve their skill set throughout the season while simultaneously keeping up with their schoolwork.
If you make the team, you are committing to cheering for the entirety of the academic school year (Early August – Late April).
