Fall Semester


One of our biggest commitments is to the UConn Homecoming Celebrations. During the week we take part in the banner competition, the annual parade and float building competition, pageant and alma mater sing as well as the most prized event, the Lip Sync Competion. For the Fall of 2009 our Homecoming Partners were SAE, Pi Phi, and TKE. Last year we placed 2nd in Lip Sync!! For 2010 Homecoming, our partner was Alpha Delta Phi. In Fall 2011 our partners were Pi Phi, Alpha Delta Phi and TKE. We placed 2nd in the Banner contest, 3rd in the Lipsync Competition, and 2nd place Overall!!


Towards the end of the Semester we begin our basketball game performances, which each year vary from four to eight men's & women's games.



Spring Semester
Spring Semester is kicked off with UConn's annual HuskyTHON. In this 18 hour dance marathon, the team performs at least once and spends the remainder of time dancing and spending time with our sponsored child & family. We take great pride in supporting the Connecticut Children's Hospital each year.

 

Next the team begins its Competition Season. We usually participate in two to three competitions, including Quinnipiac's Dance and Cheer Competition, Westfield State's Cheer and Dance Challenge sponsored by UDA, and the Nassau Community College Scholastic Kickline Competition. 


 In 2009-2010, the UConn Kickline Team brought back one 2nd place trophy and one 1st place trophy!
Congratulations girls!



Throughout The Year


Throughout the year the UConn Kickline Team  takes part in many recreational activities. Team dinners allow for a night out on the town as well as a great chance to bond. Each semester we have two team dinners and in the Spring we have a team banquet. Holiday Parties such as our annual Halloween Party and Easter Eggstravaganza allow for another way for the team to have fun.

It is important that we take the opportunity to meet other organizations around campus by having various team socials, and going to sporting events together such as Football Games.  Each fall we have our Upperclassmen vs. Underclassmen Kickline Kickball game and in the Spring we have a Dodgeball game.

We Work Hard but most importantly it is about HAVING FUN!!




Charity

Each year the team holds or participates in at least one charity event. It is important for us to support many charities locally and throughout Connecticut.

Our team also participates in other organizations' philanthropies each year, including the Annual SAE PowderPuff tournament where our team came in a very close 2nd place.

In the past we have sponsored the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation by holding a campus-wide breast cancer walk. We have also performed at Delta Chi's Basketball Tournament which also raised funds for breast cancer awareness.

In 2007 we held a Support The Troops Campaign in which we raised money and used it to build care packages for Connecticut and UConn troops over seas.

Each year we also take part in the Huskython, which raises money for the Connecticut Children's Hospital. During this all night dance marathon we perform and when possible sponsor a child and their family.

Last year the UConn Kickline Team performed at the Mansfield Senior Center and at the Mansfield Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. The elderly patients loved our kicklines and we will return to perform for them again this year!
