What is the time commitment? Is this a full-time job?
No, being a Houston Texans Cheerleader is not a full-time job. Most of our team members are full-time students, full-time mothers, or have full time jobs. The time commitment is usually 15 hours a week of rehearsal time and during the season, up to 25 hours a week including games.
Can my family come and watch auditions?
No. Auditions are closed to the public.
Do current team members have to re-audition?
Yes, all members must go through the audition process each season and are not guaranteed their place on the team.
What can I do to prepare for auditions?
Dance: call your local dance studio and ask about technique and choreography classes. Work on stretching, kicks, turns, and choreography. You need to be able to pick up choreography fairly quickly and feel comfortable performing for the judges.
