The Lombard Poms Team is looking for energetic & talented kids who would love to dance, learn, and perform as a team while making new friends. The Poms program consists of three competitive pom levels: Minis - Ages 5-8, Juniors - Ages 9-11, and Seniors - Ages 12-17. Depending on enrollment, there may be more than one team formed at some of the age levels. The team will learn skills such as kicks, turns, and jumps, and then use what they learned to develop a routine. From February-April, the team will compete against other park districts in three to four meets, held on weekends. The season ends with a final performance at Kids Day in Lilacia Park and participation in the Lilac Day Parade in May. Commitment to the squad includes the purchase of team uniforms and poms, and weekly attendance at practices on Monday nights. Come check out the free introductory practice the first week of the season (registration required). Information Session: 10/03/2016, 6-7pm, at Sunset Knoll Recreation Center. Parents and participants who are interested in finding out more about the program and meeting Head Coach Lauren are strongly encouraged to attend the Information Session. Minis practice will take place at Sunset Knoll Recreation Center. Junior and Senior level practices will take place at Glen Westlake Middle School. Practice locations may change due to facility availability.
