Yotes Cheer:
We are looking for highly committed athletes who are strong in cheer, dance, stunting, and tumbling. We hold all of our team members to a high standard as they set the example for CSUSB as well as in the community volunteering with local organizations. We cheer at multiple athletics events, including volleyball and basketball. We will be competing at state and national cheerleading competitions in 2024.

Yotes Dance:
We will not be holding dance team tryouts due to budgetary limits. Any announcements regarding the dance team will be posted on our Instagram @csusb_spirit.

Each athlete that makes the cheer team will be responsible for the payment of all required gear and camp fees. Athletes will be informed of fees and dues when they make the team.

If you have any questions or concerns please email us at csusbspiritsquad@gmail.com, and follow us on Instagram @csusb_spirit! We are so excited to get this next season started and to meet our new Yotes Spirit Squad!
