Welcome to the 2009 Pom Season!!
Carol Adams will be handling both Cheer and Pom this year. We are asking for your patience as we are working to get things in order and get updated information out to each of you. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to email me at: cadams@piratesfootball.com.
Spirit Week:
We are looking forward to a very exciting season where you will learn new skills, make new friends, and have a great time learning about a highly spirited sport! We will kick off the season with “Spirit Week” which will be hosted by the Pinckney High School Varsity Cheer team and will be held on August 3, 4, 5th from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. During “Spirit Week” you will get to know your teammates, coaches, and high school coaches along with learning about the basic skills of cheer. Please remember to bring a water bottle labeled with your name. Spirit Week is being held at Merrill Field, behind the police station.
Team Levels/Color:
We will once again be combining the colors at each level to form one team. Each Pom team will be known as Hamburg Instructional Pom, Hamburg Freshman Pom, Hamburg JV Pom, or the Hamburg Varsity Pom team, respectively.
Coaching Staff:
We are still in need of coaches. If you are interested in Head Coaching or would like to Co-Coach with another individual, please email Carol Adams at: cadams@piratesfootball.com.
Practice Schedule:
Practice will officially begin on August 3, 2009. Practice days will be Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday for the month of August from 6-8 p.m. Practice schedules will change with the start of school in September, at which time your coach will be giving you an adjusted practice schedule. Instructional level practice times will be designed in an age appropriate time frame with consideration for their attention spans. Your coach will be informing you of your adjusted practice schedule. There will be no practice on September 7th or 8th.
Game Schedule:
Our first game will be held Saturday, August 29th. The Livingston County Area Junior Football League (LCAJFL) is currently working on the game schedules for this season.
