THE MONTREAL ALOUETTES CHEERLEADING TEAM

Formed in 1996, the Montreal Alouettes cheerleading team is made up of more than 30 women, ranging in age from 18-35. They are carefully chosen each year from a group of 150 hopeful candidates who show up at the annual tryour. They are selected based on their talent, experience, rhythm, outgoing personalities and dynamism.

The Montreal Alouettes cheerleaders manage their time between school or work, practices, games, promotional activities and their families. Their careers vary from policewoman, actuary, and architectural technician to trainer, aeronautics constructor technician, dance teacher, psychology student and full-time mom!

Directed by Annie Larouche, the cheerleaders practice 2-3 times nights a week, from the beginning of March to the end of December. They take part in every home game, performing about 10 numbers as well as coming up with halftime shows for some of the home games.

The cheerleaders make over 200 appearances a year for promotional events and charitable causes. Their involvement in the community consists of visiting schools, hospitals, amateur sports teams and participating in numerous fundraising activities, conferences, commercial events and festivals.

The cheerleaders are proud to represent their team and their city and to be a part of an extraordinary team like the Alouettes!
