CHEER HISTORY
The FDU Devils Cheer team was re-established in 2005.  Since then, the squad has greatly developed, improved and is continuing to strive to enhance their abilities. The season begins in the fall, with support of the Devils Football program,  before transitioning to FDU men's and women's basketball in the winter.  The team cheers on the sideline, performs stunts, tumbles and performs a halftime routine.

During the year, there are times when the team performs their halftime routine at school events.  In 2010 and 2012, the squad performed at a showcase to support the Susan G. Komen foundation. 2019-20 marks the first year in program history they have been a competition team.
