Welcome to the home of Urbana Youth Poms

The Urbana Recreation Council Poms program was formed to allow young athletes in the Urbana area the opportunity to perform choreographed routines to support our Youth Football and Basketball programs.

About Our Program

The Urbana Youth Poms program encourages teamwork, sportsmanship & spirit. The program offers the opportunity to learn & develop dance skills. We help build self-esteem & promote the importance of a positive attitude through dance, performances & all aspects of our Pom program.

 

Instruction & performances include choreographed routines that incorporate a variety of dance styles. We focus on precision, ripples, formations, maneuvering & technique (leaps, jumps, turns, kick lines).

 

The POM program welcomes Fall 2024 K-8th grade athletes. Our season runs from August through mid-November. Pom squads perform a 2-3 minute age appropriate routine for all home Urbana Youth football games. (Away games are only traveled to by 3rd-8th grade squads.)
