pep squad

Rally enthusiasm group

A pep squad is a group organized to encourage enthusiasm at sporting events, typically through coordinated cheering, chants, and crowd engagement.

Unlike cheerleaders, pep squad members usually don't perform athletic routines—they focus on leading spectators in support of their team: She joined the pep squad her freshman year.
