Private Cheer Clubs: How a Club Orders Light-Up Poms for Every Member

For private and independent cheer clubs: whether the club or the members should own the poms, how dues cover the order, picking club colors, who looks after the set and what the board needs.

For private and independent cheer clubs: buy one club-owned set of light-up pom poms in club colors that every member uses at showcases, parades and community events. Team pricing is $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs, which dues or a one-time member fee can cover.

Should the club own the poms, or should members buy their own?

Decide this first, because it changes the count, the money and what happens when a member leaves. A private club is not a school team: there is no athletic department, the budget is member dues and fundraising, and the roster can change every few months. Here is how the three options compare.

Option Who pays When a member leaves Best for
Club-owned set Club account, from dues or a fundraiser The poms stay with the club Clubs with turnover or rotating squads
Members buy their own pair Each family, $120 per pair through the club’s team order The pair goes home with the member Steady rosters that keep members for years
Split The club buys spares and coaches’ pairs; members buy their own The club’s spares cover new members Clubs that are growing

Whichever you pick, place one team order of 10 or more pairs so every pom matches. See light-up pom poms for every kind of team for how other kinds of teams set this up.

How do club dues cover a pom order?

Do the math in front of the board. A 15-member club ordering one pair each plus two spares buys 17 pairs, $2,040. Spread across 15 members, that is $136 each, once, or a little over $11 a month across a 12-month dues year. A 24-member club with three spares buys 27 pairs, $3,240, or $135 a member. Of the 54 teams that applied to us this fall, the median request was 17 pairs, the same size as the first club above.

There are three simple funding routes: a one-time equipment fee at registration, a small add-on to monthly dues, or a single fundraiser earmarked for the set. The equipment fee is the cleanest; the dues add-on is the easiest on families. If you would rather raise it, fundraisers sized to a pom order has formats that fit.

Picking a club color when you don’t have school colors

Clubs get to choose, starting with the streamer: team orders come in teal, orange, hot pink, purple, green, silver, red, blue, gold or white metallic. Some keep the colors of their town or the founding coach’s old team; others pick a color that photographs well at night. Among this fall’s applicants, white was the most requested color (22 of 54 teams), followed by blue (10) and red (7). With remote color-changing the choice isn’t final: the whole set switches together, so the club can run its own color at a showcase, pink at a breast cancer fundraiser and a rainbow at a parade.

If the club has two colors, each pair can carry both, the raised pom in one and the low pom in the other. Our team color guide has combinations that read well from a distance.

Where club members use the set

  • The club showcase. The night families see the whole program, ending with every squad lit on one color.
  • Hometown parades and festivals. A club marching after dark is seen from the curb, not just heard.
  • Community games. Youth league and charity games where the club cheers from the sideline.
  • Recruiting days. New families try a pair; the same lights-down demo gyms use works for clubs.
  • The end-of-season banquet. Senior recognition with the lights down; see cheer banquet ideas.

A club that also fields competitive squads can borrow ideas from how all-star gyms use a shared set, and an alumni or parent squad can follow adult cheer and dance teams.

Who looks after a club-owned set?

Name one equipment parent and give them the job in writing. Number the pairs, keep a sign-out sheet, and check every pair back in after each event. Charging belongs to that adult: plug each battery pack on the handle into USB-C, watch for the red charging light, and expect 3 to 4 hours of use per charge, less on white and rainbow. Store the set switched off in one labeled bin with the remote, so it travels as a kit. Our setup videos are the training for whoever takes the job next.

Keep one or two spare pairs out of circulation for new members and the pair that gets left in someone’s car. When a member leaves, their club-owned pair goes back in the bin, not home with them.

What does the club board need before it approves the order?

Four things: the quote, the date the club needs the poms for, the color plan and the count. Put the cost per member next to the total, list the events the set covers this season, and name the person who will look after it. A purchase that looks like equipment with a plan is easier to approve than a one-night expense. Our booster club approval guide has a one-page format that works for club boards too.

Get the number from our team pricing page before the board meeting, so the figure on the agenda is real and the vote can happen in one meeting.

How a club applies for team pricing

Apply once, for the whole club. Tell us the club name, the first date you want the poms for, your colors and the count from your dues math. We make the poms ourselves and will tell you plainly what fits that date. If members are paying for their own pairs, collect inside the club and place one order. For the wider 2027 calendar, see our 2027 competition season plan.

Apply with your club name, your first event date, your club colors and how many members (plus spares) need poms. 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 club?

$120 a pair on 10 or more pairs. A 15-member club with two spares orders 17 pairs, $2,040.

Do we have to be a school team to get team pricing?

No. Clubs apply the same way school teams do, and the rate is $120 a pair on an order of 10 or more pairs.

Can we get them in our club colors?

Yes. The remote switches every pom to the club color at once, and each pair can be split across two colors.

How do the poms work?

Each pom has diodes built in among metallic streamers. A battery pack on the handle charges by USB-C and runs 3 to 4 hours, and one remote switches the whole set together.

Can we get them in time for our event?

Send the date when you apply. We make the poms ourselves and will tell you plainly what fits.

Can members keep their poms if they leave the club?

If members bought their own pairs, yes. If the club owns the set, the poms stay with the club for the next member.
