Light-Up LED Pom Poms
Metallic streamers with LEDs built into the pom, a rechargeable pack, and one remote that changes the whole team’s color at once.
$145 USD per pair
For all-star cheer gym owners: one gym-owned set of our light-up pom poms runs showcase night, exhibition and prep teams, the open house and the photo wall, with the remote switching every pom together. Team pricing is $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs, a one-time equipment line for the gym.
Where does a gym-owned pom set earn its keep?
An all-star gym runs on two calendars. One is the competition schedule, where every count of a routine is built for the score sheet. The other is everything the gym hosts itself: showcase night, exhibition slots, prep and rec teams at hometown events, the open house, picture day and the end-of-season party. That second calendar is where families fall for a program, and it is where a set of light-up LED pom poms pays for itself.
Buy the set as gym equipment, not as one team’s purchase. The same poms can open showcase with your senior team, travel with a prep team to a hometown parade and come out for open-house demos the following week. The diodes are built into each pom, not one light in the handle, so the whole pom reads as a lit shape the moment the gym lights drop. See light-up pom poms for every kind of team for how school, studio and college teams use the same set.
The all-star nights a light-up set covers
| Gym night | Who is on the floor | What the poms do |
|---|---|---|
| Showcase night | Every team, in front of families | All teams finish on one lit color for the final pose |
| Exhibition slot | A prep, novice or rec team | Gives a newer team a finished look without adding skills |
| Hometown events | Prep and rec teams at parades and local games | Read from the curb and the bleachers after dark |
| Open house and tryout week | Current athletes plus visiting kids | The lights-down demo, then kids try a pair |
| Picture day and content shoots | One team at a time | Team photos and reels with a color change on cue |
| End-of-season party | Seniors and their families | A lit send-off for athletes aging out |
List the nights your gym already hosts. If the set would be out on most of them, it belongs on the equipment budget next to mats and the sound system, not on a single team’s bill.
How many pairs does a cheer gym need?
Size the set to the biggest group that will ever hold poms at the same moment, not to your total athlete count. Teams take turns. If your largest senior team has 22 athletes, 24 pairs covers that team plus two spares, and every smaller team borrows the same set: $2,880 at the team rate. A gym that only plans to use poms with its prep and rec teams can start at the 10-pair minimum, $1,200. A gym-wide finale with two teams on the floor together is the case that pushes a gym past 30 pairs.
For scale, the 54 teams that applied to us this fall asked for a median of 17 pairs, and two-thirds of them asked for 10 to 20. Between sessions, a staff member charges the set by USB-C on each battery pack; a small red light shows while it charges, and a full charge runs 3 to 4 hours, less on white and rainbow. With tiny and mini athletes, staff hand the poms out already switched on and collect them after. Our setup videos show new staff the charging and the remote in a few minutes.
Can the poms match our gym colors?
Yes, and they can match more than one. All-star gyms rarely run a school’s navy and gold; plenty use black and pink, teal and silver, or a signature color that changes with each new uniform. The remote sets every pom in range to the same color at once, so the set follows your branding instead of locking you into one look. Underneath the light, the team order comes in ten metallic streamer colors, from teal, orange and hot pink to silver, gold and white.
One pair can also carry two colors: the raised pom on one and the low pom on the other, which reads like a two-tone uniform from the stands. White was the most requested color among this fall’s applicants (22 of 54 teams), then blue and red. Our team color guide and two-color pom poms in team colors go deeper on combinations.
Using the set to recruit next season’s athletes
Recruiting is where a light-up set earns its keep fastest. A dark gym, one team’s poms switching from white to your gym color on the last count, families cheering: that clip costs nothing to make once the set is on the shelf. Film it at showcase, cut a 15-second reel and post it the week your tryout dates go live.
Bring the set out again at your open house. Run the lights-down demo with a current team, then let visiting kids hold a pair while parents film; our cheer gym open house plan has a full run of show. The poms also make the photo wall: a lit pair in every hand turns a standard team photo into the one families frame.
What should a gym owner check before poms go in a routine?
Start with the rulebook. USASF’s 2026–27 cheer rules list pom pons among the props a routine may use and note that a routine needs no props at all (source: USASF Cheer Rules 2026–27). Whether a light-up pom fits inside a scored routine is a question for the event producer, so put it to them in writing before you choreograph one in, and keep their answer with your music files.
Everything around the scored routine is yours to light: the team meeting the night before, the exhibition slot, the awards photo and the send-off at the gym. Our guide to light-up poms at cheer competitions covers the questions to ask, and our 2027 competition season plan maps the moments around each event. Pair the poms with competition cheer bows in the same color for the team photo.

How does a gym order the set?
The owner or program director signs off, and the purchase comes out of the gym’s equipment budget rather than a team fee, because every team uses it. If you prefer to pass the cost to families, the math is simple: one pair per athlete is $120, once, at the team rate. Tell us which night you want the set for first, showcase or the open house, and we will tell you plainly what fits that date. Our team pricing page has the details.
Apply with your gym name, the date of your showcase or open house, your gym colors and the size of your largest team. We make the poms ourselves and will tell you plainly what fits your date. Team pricing is $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs.
Frequently asked questions
What is your team pricing for a cheer gym?
$120 a pair on 10 or more pairs. A gym that buys one set for every team to share pays the same rate: 24 pairs is $2,880.
Can we get them in our gym colors?
Yes. The remote sets every pom to the same color at once, and one pair can be split so the raised pom shows one color and the low pom another.
How do the light-up poms work?
LED diodes are built into each pom among metallic streamers. A battery pack on the handle charges by USB-C and runs 3 to 4 hours, and the remote’s W, MODE and AUTO buttons set white, step through colors or run the rainbow.
Can we use light-up poms in an all-star competition routine?
Check the current USASF rules and ask your event producer before you put them in a scored routine. Gyms use them for showcase, exhibition, send-offs, awards and photos.
Can we get them in time for our showcase?
Send us your showcase date when you apply. We make the poms ourselves and will tell you plainly what fits that date.
Who charges the poms at a gym with young athletes?
Staff or parents. Charging is a job for adults: plug each battery pack into USB-C, watch for the red charging light, and hand the poms out switched on.
