Sacramento Mountain Lions Dance Team Is Named the Lady Lions
From the UFL Website:
The Sacramento Mountain Lions of the United Football League have officially named their cheer and dance team the Lady Lions.
“In picking the cheerleader team name it was important to create something that would last,” said Mountain Lions Cheer and Dance Team Director Lindsay Shoemaker. “I didn’t want to give this team a name that would be out of vogue five years down the line. The Lady Lions is timeless.”
Mountain Lions fans were involved in suggesting team names, primarily chiming in on facebook.com.
“I loved having the community and UFL fans involved with choosing the name,” Shoemaker said. “We had over 50 unique suggestions and ultimately the Lady Lions was a fan suggestion.”
There are 32 cheerleaders on the Sacramento squad. The team was selected based on a three-part process that included dancing, personal interviews and judged performances.
“The Lady Lions is a perfect description of this team of cheerleaders,” Shoemaker said. “They are strong, proud, beautiful and classy women.”
The dance team will perform at all four Mountain Lion home games this fall and will serve as ambassadors for the organization throughout the season.
