No Cheerleaders, but Yell Leaders! 

 

At Texas A&M you won't find any cheerleader during sporting events, but you will see the Yell Leaders: 5 people that are there to motivate the supporters and organize the Yells.

 

If you are curious, you can visit their website: yell.tamu.edu

Otherwise, you will definitely see them during the Conference organized in August for the new students.

 

What are the Yells? 

 

In a stadium with 80000 seats (or more than 100.000 in 2015), it's not an easy task to start a song with all the supporters! The Yell Leaders only have to make some gestures for the whole crowd at Kyle Field to start yelling together. It's aboslutely Breathtaking! To experience this, you will have to attend a Football game in the legendary Kyle Field. The season is only from August to November, and after football season you can still go to Basketball games and Baseball games, as well as many other sporting events!
