For the 2009-2010 NFL Pro Bowl, each of the 26 NFL teams with cheerleaders will nominate a cheerleader to represent their squad and cheer at the game. This year, the Tennessee Titans Cheerleaders have chosen Tonia, a six year veteran and line captain of the Titans Cheerleading Squad. “As unexpected and overwhelming as this has been, I am truly honored to have been nominated. I’m on the squad with an amazing group of women and will do my best to accurately represent the defining women of the Tennessee Titans Cheerleaders,” says Tonia.

Tonia’s nomination was determined by a vote from the cheerleading squad and Tennessee Titans Cheerleading staff. The Pro Bowl, between the AFC and NFC’s best, will take place on January 31, 2010 at Dolphin’s Stadium in Miami, Florida, where Tonia can be seen cheering on the AFC players. Prepping for such an event is no small task, as Tonia explains, “I’ve got a lot of work ahead of me planning and practicing but I’ve never been more excited to exercise and practice, it’s like making the squad all over again and hearing your number called for the first time!”

Outside of the cheerleading world, Tonia is a married, mother of two originally from Chicago, Illinois. She has a Masters in Psychology from Georgia State University and is currently a Mental Health Client Specialist in Nashville, Tennessee. Tonia has added cheerleading to her resume over the last 6 years and is very proud to be member of the Titans Cheerleaders. Tonia explains being a part of the organization, stating, “I love football and being a part of the Tennessee Titans organization is a dream come true, I think it’s one with such character and stamina, and I am honored and excited to represent such an organization.” To see what players represent the Tennessee Titans and other teams along with Tonia and other cheerleaders, tune into this year’s Pro Bowl game on January 31st.

Congratulations to Holly B, who was named the Colts Cheerleaders’ Pro Bowl selection for 2010!  Besides her six year commitment to the squad, Holly resides in Terre Haute, so over an hours drive from Indianapolis.  Holly is a graduate (marketing and sales) of Indiana State University in Terre Haute, and I believe that she is the best thing out of ISU since Larry Bird.  Come to think of it, Holly and the Colts are having a much better season than Larry’s Pacers, so I’ll take Holly over Larry any day.

Besides cheering for a team that requires quite a drive for appearances, practices, and games, Holly merely manages a medical practice, is investing in a new restaurant/nightclub, serves as a fitness instructor, runs in marathons, spends time with her loves (her husband and two Shar-Peis, Raisin and Reecie); ergo, not too much going on with Holly!  Holly, you are exhausting me!!  No wonder Holly prides herself on being very organized and ready for a challenge.

Holly has performed representing the Colts on three military tours, including trips to Egypt, Jordan, Greece, Italy, Spain, the South Pacific, and Kosovo.  After all Holly has provided in terms of talent and time to the Colts organization and the community, it is certainly a well deserved designation that Holly will serve among the best of the best on the sidelines for the Pro Bowl.  Congratulations Holly!!!!!

Holly cheers at the 27Dec game versus the Jets

Well deserved Holly!!

Still catching up from the holidays!

The Saturday before Christmas the Baltimore Blast Cheerleaders were in the holiday mood. In the second half they wore their Santa jackets.

So cute, just like a Christmas Card!

In between the 3rd and 4th quarters the Cheerleaders rocked the house with their annual holiday performance. Here’s a look at how it starts.

Director Elizabeth “Liz” Guardalo show off her moves.

This time with hoods!

The 2010 San Antonio Roses performed at the first intermission of the San Antonio Rampage hockey game on December 18, 2009. The fans enjoyed the performance and dancing in the center of the ice rink was quite an experience for the Roses. The Roses enjoyed seeing the Ice Girls perform with two former San Antonio Roses on the squad. The night was capped off with a Rampage win.
