OUR MISSIONThe purpose of the Lubbock Christian University Chaparral Cheerleading program is to:

• Represent the University in a Christ-like manner.

• Unify students, faculty, staff, alumni, and athletic teams.

• Promote school spirit.

Being a LCU Cheerleader is considered a role of leadership on campus and requires a high level of passion and commitment for the sport, from the selection of the team until the next team is selected.

REQUIRED EVENTS FOR A CHAPARRAL CHEERLEADER• NCA College Summer Camp• Blue Rallies• Midnight Madness

• LCU Homecoming• Home Basketball Games and

Other Athletic Competitions

• NCA College Nationals• Community Service Events

(6 hours monthly)

*Please note more events may be added to the calendar.

The Chaparral Cheerleaders participate in many athletic events, such as banquets, Blue Rally, Midnight Madness, and LCU’s Homecoming activities. Although we cheer on the sidelines for the Chaps Basketball Team, we support other athletic teams as well. In the spring semester, the Cheerleaders train for competition and compete at NCA College Nationals in Florida. The Chaparral Cheerleaders are known as ambassadors of the University and may be asked to make special appearances at certain LCU events and in the community.
