Pom Pons :::
The Lyons Township Pom Squad performs at all home football and basketball games. The squad performs jazz, hip hop and pom style routines with skills and techniques attained through years of dance studio experience. The team practices 3 times a week for 2 hours each practice. Team members also participate in fundraising events, such as the Peppy Primary, a clinic held in December for young girls.
This year the LTHS Poms program will hold one try out for all three levels: Freshman, Junior Varsity and Varsity. Tryouts will be held April 18-20 at the NC Fieldhouse from 6:00 PM until 9:00 PM. Three squads of 14-18 girls will be chosen over the course of these three nights. At the freshman level, we will be looking for double and single pirouettes, basic jumps and leaps, and foundational skills for turns in second. In addition to these skills, girls should exhibit an ability to pick up and remember a series of combinations.
