Jul 8, 2022 · Crowd chants for basketball games are short cheers, most often led by cheerleaders. It is the opposite of floor cheers, which are basically routines performed during game breaks or halftime. Leading basketball crowd chants requires a different skill from cheerleaders, but if done correctly, it can change the game’s complexion.
