Spirit Team

Spirit Team

The Lamar University Spirit Team is an elite Division I dance team. The number of members vary each year depending on the ability level of the pool of candidates. The team performs at all home men's and women's basketball games as well as at various community events. The spirit team also produces an annual cabaret show every spring to help raise scholarship money. There are currently a limited number of partial dorm scholarships available. Members must be full-time students and have a minimum 2.5 grade point average. Incoming freshmen, as well as students currently enrolled at Lamar, are eligible to audition. Auditions are usually held in late April or early May. Members attend camp every August, where the Lamar team has consistently won high awards. Some scholarships are available.
