This year, all athletes will receive a team jacket, with a $20 printing fee added at registration. A $150 uniform deposit check is required at uniform distribution. This check will be returned or shredded once the uniform is returned in an acceptable and clean condition.

Uniform fitting will occur during the first week of the season. Please be patient, as this process takes time. We will start with the younger age group first.
*Practice & Game Information
Practice for the Fall 2025 season will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays, between 6pm and 8pm, depending on the age group. The first practice is scheduled for Tuesday, August 12th.
Games will primarily occur on Saturdays, with some on Sundays, likely starting in mid-August. Poms will perform at all Oakdale home games and away games within a 30-minute travel time. The season will continue through mid-November, with practices held at the Oakdale Middle School Cafeteria.
*Exciting Season Activities
