FALL SEASON 2023

The LOUYAA Linganore Pom & Dance program is designed for children, Pre-K through 8th grade, to learn and perform choreography for halftime performances at LOUYAA Linganore youth football games.  Our program aims to build confidence through dance, and to foster a positive atmosphere of friendship and teamwork.
Dancing is not only about the ability to perform a routine.  It is also about working hard as an individual and in a group. Working in a group may look simple from the outside, but it takes a lot of practice and coordination to appear as one. Our participants learn to work together, as a team, so on gameday, they can apply the skills and techniques they’ve learned at practice.  There are no try-outs required.  Our only requirement is a commitment to participate at practices and performances. 

UNIFORM INFORMATION
Linganore Poms provides each dancer with a performance uniform to use for the season and a complimentary 2023 game bow, which is theirs to keep.

Rather than require families to purchase necessary apparel items separately, this year we will be requiring families to purchase additional mandatory Linganore Poms branded items, as part of their registration.  These items will be worn throughout the season and are yours to keep. *Please note that if you already purchased the Peace-Love-Poms sweatshirt last year, you do not need to purchase it this year. Because so many people already have it, this sweatshirt will be sold separately from the mandatory apparel purchase. 

Items that are not part of the mandatory apparel purchase and must be purchased separately:
•       No-show white socks
•       White leather cheer shoes
•       2023 Performance Tank (This will only apply to people who do not attend camp and will be sold separately starting 8/8. This performance tank will be provided to 2023 camp-goers, as part of the camp registration fee.)    

SEASON PRACTICE INFORMATION
•       Practices will be held at the courts behind NMES/NMMS
•       Practices for the Fall 2023 season will start on Tuesday 8/8•       Prior to school starting, practices will be held on the evenings of Tuesday 8/8, Wednesday 8/9, Thursday 8/10 and on Tuesday 8/15, Wednesday 8/16 and Thursday 8/17
•       Once school starts practices will be held every Tuesday and Thursday evening
•       Squads practice between 6:00pm and 8:00pm based on age group. The youngest girls practice from 6:00 to 7:15
•       We ask all girls to arrive by 5:50, with a full and labelled water bottle, and wearing any kind of sneaker/athletic shoe that provides proper support for running and jumping.

 PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Games take place on Saturdays or Sundays, starting in mid to late August, with the season ending by mid-November.  Each squad assembles to practice before their halftime performance, and then all dancers are free to leave after halftime, or are welcome to stay and enjoy the game with their family.

 VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
We are always looking for volunteers to help. The success of our program depends on the participation of our volunteers.  Please consider volunteering your time, talent or resources.   Fall 2023 volunteer opportunities include coaches, team parents, parent photographer/videographer, fundraising coordinators, spirit weekend/homecoming committee members, banquet planning/set up committee.
