LORETTO, PA – The 2023-24 Saint Francis University dance, cheer and mascot teams have been picked at tryouts on April 23. Some auditioned by video and others attended tryouts in person. Altogether there were 39 students working for a spot on the Red Flash spirit team. We have roster space for 60 students (35 on cheer and 25 on dance) that perform on the sidelines of many home games throughout the year. The dance, cheer and mascot teams also compete but have smaller roster sizes. Cheer brings 20, dance has 12 and mascot only competes one. Those on the competition team receive a higher scholarship amount because of the time commitment.
Scholarships are awarded by years on the team, score at tryouts, and if the performer qualifies for the competition team. Those amounts range from $400-$2,000 per semester. A senior and captain on the team can max out at $1,800 per semester and Frankie the Friar mascot gets $2,000 per semester because of the time involved.
