I love this new picture of Cara from Poms. Check out those feet (all of the years en pointe in ballet). I must admit, I never knew what "poms" were until we moved to the east coast. Here is a brief Pom Primer: (Much of this I learned the hard way....)
*Most importantly, poms are NOT cheerleaders and they do not cheer (even if they look like they are)!
*Poms perform at athletic events (football and basketball) usually during pregame, half-time and at pep rallies.
*Their official name is actually Pom Pons (note the "n" - that is correct).
*Pom squads have their own competitions (invitationals and county/state wide competitions).
*Poms are a sport (I've always wondered about calling it a sport when what they do is set to music)!
*Poms are definitely athletes.
*We love our Pom!
