A couple of weeks ago I watched a news blurb about a cheerleading group. They are called the Sun City Poms. But unlike most cheerleaders…all of these ladies are over the age of 55.
The group started in 1979 as a cheer squad for the Sun City Women’s Softball Team. Now they perform around 50 shows per year at conventions, sporting events, community meetings, fundraisers, and retirement living centers and care facilities. They even performed at the Fiesta Bowl parade! Sun City has over 100 residents over 100 years old and 2,350 residents over 85 so it is full of active senior citizens. But these ladies take the prize! With tons of enthusiasm and excitement…these women perform pyramids, pinwheels and some even do splits, leg lifts, and headstands!
I LOVE IT!!! This is another example of how you are never too old to be active! You can do anything!!! Maybe someday Cookeville will have a senior cheerleading squad. And if they do…..you can go ahead and sign this lady up!
Have a wonderful weekend!
