general info to get your pom on!
POMS is an after school enrichment program offering a weekly practice by age group to learn, develop and utilize cheer techniques. This is a stay after school program where students will remain at school, reporting to their practice location, stay and be picked up afterwards. Our goal at POMS is to have an experience for friendships, leadership and growth through physical activity and teamwork! Practice time is a little over an hour at the designated school. POMS squad will practice one day a week. All athletes will be taught the fundamentals of cheerleading in a fun environment that nurtures positive self-esteem. At the end of the session, we will have a fun performance to celebrate our hard work and parent or family friends are invited to watch. Info on this will be released throughout the sessions. Each POMS squad will receive a pair of poms, shirt, and hair bow! POMS shirts can be worn with black shorts or leggings, white socks and white shoes to practice and hair pulled back. Additional POMS gear is available online!
Cheerleaders will have the opportunity to change clothes and use the bathroom after sign-in. Please remember appropriate shoes. There will be a 5 minute break for water and a light snack (you can pack a granola bar, fruit or something simple).
For PREK POMS it is a drop off and pick up class at your designated start time!
