40 Cheerleading Captions For IG That’ll Put Some Pep In Your Profile

Imagine this: It's a Friday night in your college town, and your phone is lighting up with texts from your best friends on the cheerleading team. Like you, they're getting ready for the huge football game that's starting in a few hours, going through the routines in their head and pulling out their pom-poms. They're stretching, putting their hair in ponytails, posing for the obligatory selfie and, of course, mentally preparing cheer captions for their post-game Instagram.

After all, there's not a game day that goes by when you don't take a bunch of pictures with your team and put some pep on your Instagram profile. You might even pose for the school photographer in your brightly colored uniform, asking them to capture the moment when you do an epic handstand or back handspring across the field during half-time. If you have a minute or two in between practice sessions and touchdowns to score a couple of excited selfies, you might take out your phone, too.

You throw the glitter filter on your face and post a photo on your feed with the caption, "Game day," or, "Let's be loud and proud!" Other than flying high and impressing the people in the crowd with stunts and a toe touch or two, it's your job to get the fans pumped and prepared to take home a big win. Sometimes, that calls for putting in a little hustle off the sidelines and rallying your social media followers who are tuned into the game from the comfort of their couch.

That can't be an easy feat all the time, especially because you and your teammates are already spending long nights on the field or court, making sure you land every pike right. You may not have the time to come up with a witty caption to match all your cheerleading picture ideas, so you’ve come to the right place for all the caption inspo — from cheerleading quotes to pyramid puns.
