Gold & White Cheerleading Squad
Cheerleading at Georgia Tech is a challenging and rewarding sport. Each individual works hard to learn new and difficult skills while the coaches actively promote safety.
While the squad enjoys competing at NCA Nationals in Daytona, Florida, its first priority is promoting Georgia Tech Intercollegiate Athletics and representing the University as a whole. Generating spirit and crowd involvement at Georgia Tech is the common goal for the squad. In addition to cheering for football and men’s and women’s basketball games, the squad performs at various appearances, host clinics, participate in numerous community service projects, and competes in the NCA College Cheer Championships each year.
Georgia Tech cheerleading is a major time commitment. The cheerleaders spend 8-10 hours per week practicing. Practice sessions focus on co-ed and quad stunts, pyramids, basket tosses, motion technique, and tumbling in preparation for games, events and competition. In addition to practice time, Georgia Tech cheerleaders spend 4 hours per week at workouts with the strength and conditioning coach. The cheer squads are present at both home and away football games, home men’s and women’s basketball games, as well as ACC Tournaments and select home volleyball matches.
Spring 2022 cheerleading tryouts will be held on April 15th & 16th. To register, click the button below.

“Georgia Tech cheerleading had offered me unique and exciting experiences in every area of my life. Not only was I able to refine myself physically, but the program allowed me to polish my abilities as a leader as well. The unconditional backing I’ve received from my teammates and mentors throughout my journey has equipped me with the confidence and skills to prepare for anything in the future.”
Whitney Waldron
“The experiences and memories I have from cheering at Georgia Tech are second to none. I’ll never forget the rush of excitement I felt riding the Ramblin’ Wreck out onto Grant Field or taking the floor at NVA Nationals in Daytona. I’m honored to have been a part of the rich tradition at Tech and proud to be a Yellow Jacket!”
Jason & Kristen Stott
“GT Cheer was one of the best times of our life. We made so many wonderful memories that we will never forget and it kept us sane during all that comes with Georgia Tech academics. We are both so grateful we met each other as well as the lifelong friends we have because of GT Cheer.”
Caroline Kogan
“Being a part of Georgia Tech Cheerleading was a dream come true. When I was a little girl, all I dreamed about was being a Tech cheerleader, and I was lucky enough to accomplish my goal of becoming part of the team. I’ll always remember the fun activities and opportunities I was able to take part in because of cheerleading, such as becoming captain of the team, riding the Wreck, and getting to know so many wonderful team members.”
