Houston Texans Cheerleaders

The Houston Texans Cheerleaders are the official cheerleading squad of the Houston Texans of the National Football League. Although they are marketed as cheerleaders, they are actually a dance team. The group has been with the team since the team's inception in 2002.[1] The squad's tryouts were held at the Methodist Training Center from 2002 to 2019.[2][3] Since 2021, the squad hold auditions at the local gym called Texans Fit.[4] The group currently has 35 members.[5] Yearly, the squad releases a swimsuit calendar, having done so since 2008-2016. Currently they release as "sideline calendar" which features pictures of the cheerleaders on their game day activities.

The squad also makes off-the-field appearances at charity events and parties.[6] In 2011, the squad held a "Birds and Birdies" Golf Tournament at Cypresswood Golf Club.[7] Also in 2011, the squad had a HTC All Stars Group, before a game against the Carolina Panthers, in which cheerleaders from across Houston got together to perform at the "Happy Holidays Show".[1][8] The squad also act as mentors to young girls in the Houston area via the Junior Cheerleader program and are one of the major advocates in Houston for female empowerment.
