Due to a low number of girls able to attend the tryout on August 16th, we WILL NOT be having the tryout. There will be, however, another tryout at the beginning of the school year. The tryout typically occurs the second week of classes. Members selected at this tryout will be able to start performing at the second game. It will still be mandatory to participate in both seasons of the team. If you are especially interested in being able to attend camp, or have any questions, email pompons@hope.edu

We will be holding a summer tryout for incoming freshman in August. It is a requirement for all freshman to participate in both seasons (please e-mail pompons@hope.edu with any questions regarding this policy).

Please wear black shorts or pants and a white tank. We will be outside, weather permitting, so gym shoes are appropriate. Also suggested is a water bottle or two and a lunch. The tryouts will probably be done before 4pm. You will be notified that day if you have made the team. Camp is mandatory and will be August 23-28, and freshman will be able to participate in all orientation activities beginning on Friday. The Pom Team is a low time commitment team, with practices about 6 hours per week, with additional practice on game days. Practices will be Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights. The time is TBA.

Basketball Season Tryouts and Schedule!
We will be holding tryouts for the 2009 Basketball season very soon! If you love to dance, come and check us out at our tryouts. The style is jazz and hip hop, very different from our football season. We perform during halftime of both men and women's basketball games, including the Hope vs. Calvin game. We also perform a guy/girl routine in which we round up some very enthusiastic guys to dance with us which is one of the best parts of basketball season. The Poms Team sponsors Tatianna, a miracle child for Dance Marathon, and we will perform with her at the Dance Marathon in March. I hope to see you at tryouts!

To entertain this crowd the team performs U.D.A. style routines. The style consists of more dance-based moves, trading in kicklines and pom runs for turns, leaps and other crowd pleasing dance moves.  The team also invites Hope College guys to join them for the annual Guy/Girl routine. For this special performance, the guys attend practices to learn a routine in which they will dance with their pom partners. The routine is performed at a basketball game and is truly a crowd favorite!  Football Season   During football season, routines are choreographed using traditional pom style moves, including stiff arm movements while pom running, kicklines, toe-touches and splits. This style is perfect for entertaining the stadium crowd. The team often ends routines with its signature pose - the Hope "H" formed with orange and blue poms. Performance Schedule - Fall 2008
