The University of Idaho Vandal spirit squad has faced many challenges while trying to adjust to the uncertainty the pandemic brings. Vandal cheer and dance spent their season creating and adjusting the safety protocols so they could ensure they were getting the practice they needed.
Cheer and dance were unable to perform at any games last fall because Vandal Football’s season was postponed until this spring. The spirit squad continued to practice through the cancellation of the Vandal football’s fall season by following strict protocols and guidelines. These protocols included temperature checks before practice, regularly asking the team if they were showing symptoms and always wearing masks.
