Auditions start on April 11 and offer an exciting yet challenging experience. To help prepare the women for the audition process, a pre-audition workshop will be held on March 14 from 2-5 pm in the Jenny Craig Pavilion at the University of San Diego.

Pre-registration is highly recommended on Chargers.com as space is limited. A non-refundable cash fee of $50 will be collected upon arrival at workshop.

The three-hour session will include a dance clinic, mock audition, audition tips and a Q & A with the 2009 Charger Girls.

"We host a workshop every year to give a broader idea of everything we're looking for," said Charger Girls Director Lisa Simmons. "We work with them on dance technique, choreography and put them through a mock audition. We do our best to prepare them for what they can expect in April."

The Charger Girls perform at all home games and appear in the team's annual swimsuit calendar. They also serve as ambassadors for the organization at hundreds of business, community and charity events throughout the year.

More than 400 dancers annually audition for a spot on the NFL's hottest dance team.
