Season Schedule & Team Structure!

If you love dancing, performing, and having fun then CJT POMS is for you. Our POM squads will perform a pre-game routine to get the football players "pumped up" before the game. The POM squads also perform during halftime entertaining the crowd with high energy routines that include the latest dance moves to the hottest music.

Philosophy

Our goal is to create a positive and fun environment promoting good character, teamwork, dedication and sportsmanship. We help to build self-confidence & self esteem, while motivating each one to reach their athletic potential in the sport of dance.
