What are the responsibilities of a TCU Showgirl?

* Regular team practices are held up to three times per week and last approximately 2–3 hours per session. Additional practices are required prior to games, and extra practices may be scheduled as needed.
*Practice is canceled along with school classes during holidays. Games during these times are NOT canceled. Local members cheer at the Holiday games. Select team members are chosen for bowl games over winter break and basketball tournaments over spring break. Notice and schedules are available far in advanced for planning purposes.
* Mandatory workouts are required two times per week in addition to regular practices.
Does the squad compete?
* We do not compete. Our primary focus is game day performances and supporting TCU Athletics and University events.
How many spots are open for next year’s team? Are there alternate positions available?
* There are not a set number of spots available. Everyone must re-audition every year to earn a spot on the team. We currently do not offer alternate positions, but you can always audition again next year!
