Being on the LCC Pom Squad will be a time consuming activity. Depending activites are going on that week, the hours may change. However, no matter what the hours, all games, pracitices and any other squad activites will take precedence over all other non-academic activities including work. There will only be a specific number of missed practices allowed. This and other rules will be discussed prior to tryouts.
Pom Team: AVERAGE: 8 hours/week
Will perform at games = 4 hours per week
Practices to be determined but will be no less than 4 hours per week

Skills to be included at tryouts:
DANCE: Two dances will be taught, one a pom style dance, and a hip hop dance. Both will be taught with a gap in the middle of the dance of 2-8counts. You will finish the routine with your own material.
SKILLS: You may choose four from from the following skills, however one MUST be a toe touch. All skills hold a different point value, so take that into consideration. But also, if you have a solid double worth 7 points, and a shaky triple worth 10, go for the double you may nail all the points on it, but more than likely won't on the triple.
