The goals are set high for the 2017-2018 season at the University of South Florida! The USF coed and all girl teams have 55 cheerleaders in the program this season. Both teams are focusing on how they can enhance the fan experience at games this season as they prepare to take the sidelines.

The all girl team, led by Sandy Clarke, has 29 talented ladies excited for the 2017-2018 season! The all girl team will challenge themselves to hit not one, but two zero deductions this year at UCA College Nationals!

Last season, the all girl team focused on improving their pyramid execution. This strategy has helped get the new season off to a great start! Coach Clarke says that they feel like they are poised for success because they are starting exactly where they left off at the end of last season.

After 13 years of not competing, USF coed returned to the mat in 2017! They proudly earned a spot in D1A finals at UCA College Nationals in January. They're ready to up their game in 2018 and will work hard this season in hopes of a top-eight finish! Head coach Gillian Guadagnino says that their season is starting off great! They have a good mixture of veterans who are paving the way for rookies to accelerate.

The coed team is excited that their game day skills are WAY ahead of where they were a year ago!

"There is a lot of game day material and we already knocking it out which allows us to move on to ore elite level baskets, pyramids, and stunts." Guadagnino says. 

We can't wait to watch USF all girl and coed this year!
