  4. Preface to Cheering • Cheering is a complicated art. It takes practice. Guidance. Faith. Energy. Volume. Most importantly, cheering requires a severe to absolute lack of shame. We’re here to help. • First and foremost, nobody can be left behind, so everyone has to be involved. Look to each other for inspiration, and remember the golden rule to cheering: it’s only as fun as you let loose.

  5. Preface to Cheering • Secondly, we must be educated in our ways in order to participate. Those lacking in knowledge should look to others for help. Returning members and Spirit Captains are all willing to help teach you these cheers.

  6. Preface to Cheering • The last advice to achieving ultimate cheering prowess is to not be cliquey. Disperse yourself and make new friends within and outside your club, and feed off each other’s energy.  • HAVE FUN WITH IT!!! Because if we’re not cheering all over the place, we’re probably all up in your face. -2008-2009 UCI Spirit Chair Albert Kazi
