Georgia Tech cheer focuses on recruiting, through combines, clinics and official visits. As of September 29, 2026, Georgia Tech’s cheer pages didn’t list a tryout date for the 2027-28 team. This guide follows the official Cheer and Recruitment Interest pages on RamblinWreck.com.
The Program
- Game days. The cheerleaders work all home and away football games, men’s and women’s basketball, postseason tournaments, and campus and community events.
- Competition. Each spring the team competes at NCA College Nationals in Daytona Beach. It was national runner-up in the small coed intermediate division in both 2025 and 2026.
- Student-athletes. The 2026-27 roster lists 35 cheerleaders. Their majors include engineering, neuroscience, architecture, biology and computer science, so expect to balance cheer with a demanding course load.
- Conference. Georgia Tech plays in the ACC.
Recruitment Events
Fall 2026 official visits
High school juniors and seniors who attended at least one 2026 Georgia Tech recruitment combine or clinic may qualify for an official visit at a home football game. The visit includes two game tickets and two pregame field passes. The remaining 2026 games are:
- October 10 vs. Duke
- October 24 vs. Boston College
- November 7 vs. Louisville
- November 21 vs. Wake Forest
Visits are first come, first served, and space is limited.
Official visit qualifications
- GPA of 3.7 or higher
- Standing tuck
- Running full
- Level 5+ stunting experience
These are the published bar for an official visit, and a useful sign of the level Georgia Tech recruits at. They aren’t stated as team requirements.
Men’s Basketball Spirit Day (January 9, 2027)
This pregame clinic at O’Keefe Gymnasium is open to ages 7 and up. Participants learn a one-minute routine and perform it during the Georgia Tech vs. Notre Dame game. The $35 fee doesn’t include a game ticket. For high school participants 16 and older, Spirit Day is also a recruitment opportunity, and the fee is waived for official visit recruits. Game time and the registration link were still TBA.
Admission Comes First
Georgia Tech’s recruitment page pairs its events with an “Apply to Georgia Tech” link, so plan your university application alongside your cheer recruitment.
What Georgia Tech Doesn’t Publish
The cheer pages don’t give a current tryout date, tryout format or fee. Ask the spirit coordinator how and when the next team is selected.
