The performs and supports for the Los Angeles Lakers Basketball

The Laker Girls are an all-female National Basketball Association Cheerleading squad that performs and supports the Los Angeles Lakers Basketball team in home matches. They also perform at many other events and venues. The Laker Girls hold auditions at the Staples Center for new recruits on the third Saturday of July of every year. Each girl auditioning needs to be 104-130 lbs. (135 lbs. is considered if the audition goes very well) and must come with a resume of their previous jobs and gigs. It is required that each girl auditioning comes prepared with her own routine and is taught two routines that each girl must perform for the current Laker Girls as well as some judges.
