The Fresno State spirit squad is composed of co-ed cheerleaders and Fresno State's mascot, Timeout, each with different responsibilities but working together as one team.
The spirit squad performs stunts and leads the crowd in cheers, while also performing to the music of the Fresno State Marching Band or recorded music for halftime shows at men's and women's basketball games and volleyball matches. The Fresno State Athletics Department provides financial and administrative support of the spirit squad. For more information about the Spirit Squad please contact Nick Grim, Sports Marketing Coordinator, at (559) 244-5623.
