team cheer
Squad's spirited yell
A team cheer is a rhythmic chant or call performed collectively by a group to build enthusiasm, unity, or spirit—typically at sporting events, pep rallies, or team gatherings.
The cheer usually follows a set pattern with coordinated words and movements: The squad led the crowd in the team cheer before kickoff.
Beyond athletics, any group ritual meant to energize or bond participants might be called a team cheer.
