The goal of the Pacific Spirit Squad is to promote Tiger Pride throughout the University and the community by supporting the Athletic Department, the student body, and the University. The Spirit Squad showcases their skills and talents at numerous events, University activities and community functions. These individuals are an integral part of the Athletic Department and serve in large part, as public relations ambassadors.
The Spirit Squad is composed of the Cheer & Stunt Team, the Tiger Dancers, and our mascot, Power Cat. Each student athlete plays a vital role in the Spirit Squad, and contributes a great deal of time and energy to achieving a high level of excellence both on and off the court.
Last but not least, the Pacific Spirit Squad is all about having fun, creating new friends and memories, and having the best possible college experience!
