Weigh-Ins

Many NFL cheerleaders need to weigh-in twice a week, like the Ben-Gals. Ben-Gals are given a three pound leniency that means they can be three pounds more than their “goal weight,” but any more means staying after practice for more conditioning or worse…suspension or being let go. One cheerleader from the Ravens recalled that a senior cheerleader weighed five pounds lighter than usual at the start of the season, but gained weight during the season. Even though she was still lighter than she had been in previous seasons, she got benched and couldn’t cheer at the Super Bowl due to “a little bit of a weight gain.”

Maybe you didn’t know, but the Ravens have the only co-ed cheerleading team in the NFL. Anyway, only the females are featured in the team calendar. (Yes a swimsuit one!) Thus, the team requires that cheerleaders buy 100 and sell them for $15 a piece, but the males only need to buy 20. Oh and the cheerleaders buy them at $12 each.
