Sugar Bears
The Sugar Bears are a highly visible and exciting component of the Spirit Squads at Missouri State University, originating in 1976. We are dedicated to representing ourselves, the Athletics department and the University in a professional, collegiate, and first-class manner. The Sugar Bears enjoy the privilege of performing at major MSU sporting events, including all home football and basketball games. The Sugar Bears practice an average of 10 hours per week during the Fall semester, and 7 hours per week during the Spring semester. Sugar Bears also travel to the UDA College National Championship each January.
The Sugar Bears annually have proven to be among the top-ranked programs in the country, competing on the Nationals stage since the 1980s. In 2021, the Sugar Bears were inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame and in 2022, were named one of the 25 Best College Dance Teams in America by Online Bachelor Degrees.
