team is considered to be a valuable asset to the athletic program. In order to have a
squad exemplify the highest of standards, annual try-outs will be held each fall and
spring semester to choose the squad for the following year. A coach will be approved
on an annual basis, by Seahawk Sports Marketing, and will be responsible for the
training and discipline of the squad. The coach reports through Seahawk Sports
Marketing. The coach will adhere to the policies adopted by UNCW as well as
NCAA and conference guidelines. All cheerleader policies and guidelines must
conform with University philosophy and be reviewed and approved by the Marketing
Assistant and/or the Director of Athletics.
C. Seahawk Mascot
The Seahawk Mascot plays a key role in presenting a positive image for UNCW. The
mascot is to project and display the proper attitude and image of the University on
and off the field as well as creating enthusiasm, spirit and awareness for UNCW.
Try-outs for the mascot’s position will be held annually in conjunction with
cheerleader try-outs. Because of the demands, i.e., games, parades, community
events, special appearances, etc., placed on the Seahawk it is recommended that at
least two people be chosen to be the mascot. The mascot will also work with the
Director of Seahawk Sports Marketing in coordinating most special events.
D. Pep Band & Drumline
The UNCW pep band plays an intricate role in creating enthusiasm and spirit at
Seahawk home men’s and women’s basketball games. The pep band will be
organized by the Pep Band Director, in close coordination with the Department of
Athletics, and is expected to perform at home basketball games while school is in
session and attend the conference basketball tournament. The Pep Band Director will
interact with the Seahawk Sports Marketing Office.
