Purdue Cheer moves to a recruiting format for 2024-25

Purdue Cheer will transition to a recruiting format and offer roster spots to fill the coed and all girl teams for the 2024 – 2025 season.  
"I am excited to elevate the experience of being selected as a Purdue Cheerleader. I strongly believe offering roster spots to fill our teams is the best process moving forward for both the program and the student-athletes." -Coach Jocelyn Stephens.
 
HOW TO GET RECRUITED

1. Complete our Purdue Cheer Recruit Form HERE

This form is for HS juniors, HS seniors, and current/transfer students. Completing this form creates your recruit profile for the coaches, the more information and videos you include the stronger the introduction.

1. Get evaluated in-person

All athletes interested in our program must be evaluated in-person before receiving an offer. Evaluations are performed by Coach Jocelyn and/or Coach Jaylan at clinics, combines, and additional events. Evaluations give the coaches the opportunity to meet you, see your skills, and how you work with the team.
