Saint Francis University Athletics

Introducing the Most Electrifying Teams in College Athletics! The Red Flash Cheerleaders, Dancers and Mascots work hard every season to keep athletic events interactive for students AND families. Here at Saint Francis, we unite our athletics family first, then we bring together the university and finally involve our community in events throughout the year. If those commitments are met, then we compete at NCA / NDA Collegiate Nationals in Daytona, Florida.

Being a member of this program means that you will commit at least 6 hours of practice per week and up to 12 total hours per week. That time involves (but is not limited to) athletic competition, pep rallies, promotional appearances, community service, fundraising and our own conditioning. In exchange for your time and effort, our teams receive certain benefits.

All Red Flash Cheerleaders, Dancers and Mascots earn the following benefits:

• Represent Red Flash Athletics in the NCAA Division 1, Northeast Conference 

• $1,000 Scholarship per Semester

• First come first served free used book program

Often, our program goes above and beyond expectations which sometimes involves needing additional funds for travel, hotel stays, meal expenses, make-up, extra bows and team building events. To reach that level of commitment, we fundraise.
