Each year there is an audition that is held in the spring for the USF Sundolls and 18-24 young women are selected for the upcoming years squad.  The selected members are expected to perform at all football games and basketball games throughout the year along with participation in many other opportunities around campus and Tampa Bay.  A competition team is selected (16 members) for UDA Nationals that are held in January at Disney World. Rookies will have to earn the right to participate in both teams.  It is suggested that squad members take a light load in the Fall. You may be on the competition squad and not on the spirit squad and visa versa, depending on our skills.  If your intention is to only participate in the football spirit squad, please do not try out as the spirit squad is for basksetball season also.  The University invests alot of money in each SunDoll and expects a commitment through the entire season, which ends in April. Members will not be allowed to go home for Thanksgiving or Spring Break and only have a short Christmas break.  If you have any issues with this, please do not tryout.
