Lund Cheer is a sports team meant for students enrolled at Lund University. We therefore require our members to study at the university and to be a member of AF. However, there is one exception: if you have completed your studies at Lund University it is possible to prolong the AF membership for one extra year. That means that you may join Lund Cheer up to one year after finishing your studies at LU.

One must be a member of Akademiska Förening in order to join the team. This is included in memberships of Studentlund, which costs 240 annually.

We have also decided to add an extra membership fee (250 kr per term for the Cubs team, and 300 kr per term for the Lions team) to be able to continue to finance the training halls, cheer equipment and organize events. This fee may increase or decrease each term depending on what the board finds necessary.

We want students who apply to be aware of that cheerleading is a sport that requires full attendance from everyone in the team. There are exceptions, of course, but we expect team members to prioritize the practices by having good study planning and dedication. As soon as people cannot make it to practice, the rest of the team will suffer from it and will not be able to perform the desired stunts anymore.

Our practices are two hours long, 1-2 times a week, depending on which team you are in. Besides that, we expect all members to practice counts and dances at home as well.

Apart from that we have some team gatherings and in some cases extra practices, especially before a competition or showcase. 

Lund Cheer consists of two teams, read more under “Our teams“.

The practice times for the 26/27 season will be announced shortly.

Extra practices may be added close to performances and competitions.

Nope! No previous experience is needed. We welcome people of all skill levels in our association. However, previous experience is of course meritorious, especially for the Lions team.

Yes, you are very welcome to apply! We will speak English during practices if there are international students in the team. However, you will have a greater chance of joining the team if you are staying in Sweden for a year and not just half a year.

Please mention in the application form that you are an international student and how long you are staying in Sweden.

All team members in Lund Cheer receive a free injury insurance (olycksriskförsäkring) through Riksidrottsförbundet. The coaches will always bring a first aid kit to the practices.
