Welcome to the home of the University of West Alabama Cheerleading program! Squad members promote spirit and support UWA Athletics including cheering on the sidelines of every home football game in Tiger Stadium as well as home basketball game inside Pruitt Hall. UWA Cheerleaders also travel to cheer at selective away football games, GSC basketball tournaments, and NCAA tournaments.
The UWA Cheerleaders are committed to representing the University of West Alabama and are active in appearances for the university and the Livingston community. These events include pre-game pep rallies, half-time and sideline routines at football and basketball games, and more!
