Keele Spirit Team
York University students are invited to create Spirit Teams and compete in the Red & White Spirit Competition to be #1 in school spirit! The Spirit Competition challenges our student groups to show their spirit through participation in four challenges.
How Do I Create A Spirit Team?
You can create a team with members of your student organization, the people who live in your residence building or apartment building, your intramural team, your classmates, your friends, or anyone else you can think of. Large student organizations can create multiple teams, but students can only participate on one team. Once you've created a team, pick a team captain and register your team. You can register your team by filling out the Keele Spirit Team Registration form. Teams must be registered by November 14, 2013.
NOTE: You are encouraged to have at least 6 people on your team to receive maximum points in the events.
