CAVALIERS CHEERLEADERS

About UVa-Wise Cheerleading

UVa-Wise Cheerleading is a growing program with a long standing tradition within the College and the Wise Community. UVa-Wise is a proud member of the Mid-South Conference and the Appalachian Athletic Conference

Cheerleading at UVa-Wise is a year-round sport, cheering during both football and basketball seasons. However, we also are seen at official College events, public appearances such as parades, social functions, cheer clinics, and community events.
