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 college cheer coaches and spirit directors: one matched set of light-up pom poms changes colour by remote, so it covers night football, lights-down basketball introductions, theme nights and campus events all year. Team pricing is $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs.
What does a college spirit programme's season look like?
| Season | Performances | What the poms need to do |
|---|---|---|
| Fall | Football, homecoming, pep rallies | Read under stadium lights and in fourth-quarter light shows |
| Winter | Men’s and women’s basketball | Stay visible in lights-down introductions and time-outs |
| Competition season | Game Day and other divisions | Match exactly across the squad |
| All year | Welcome week, orientation, alumni and donor events | The school’s colours, after dark |
One matched set of light-up pom poms covers that whole calendar: school colours at football and basketball, pink or lavender on theme nights, and the event colour at campus events, all switched together by remote, so the programme buys once for the year.
What does a college squad need for each sport?
- Football: poms that read from the upper deck. A light-up set holds up at night games and fourth-quarter light shows.
- Basketball: many arenas dim the lights for introductions and promotions, which is where light-up poms stand out.
- Volleyball, hockey and other sports: fewer appearances, often theme nights such as pink outs.
- Campus events: the same set, switched to the event colour.

How does Game Day competition fit in?
The Game Day division judges how well a squad leads a crowd, the way it would at a real game, and poms are encouraged for the sideline and time-out sections (source: Varsity on Game Day). That is the same crowd-leading job the squad does at every home game, which is where one matched set earns its place all year. For the season calendar, see competition season planning for coaches.
How many pairs does a college programme need?
Count every athlete who uses poms across the cheer squad and the dance team, then add spares. At our team rate of $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs:
| Group | Pairs | Cost at the team rate |
|---|---|---|
| Cheer squad of 20 | 22 | $2,640 |
| Cheer squad of 30 | 32 | $3,840 |
| Cheer and dance, 45 together | 47 | $5,640 |
Pair counts include two spares. Shipping is quoted with the order.
Who pays for college spirit equipment?
- The spirit programme budget, usually under athletics or student affairs.
- Athletics marketing or game presentation, when the set is bought for the show.
- Sponsors of theme nights.
- Alumni donors, for a named gift to the programme.
When should a college programme order?
| When | What to lock in |
|---|---|
| Spring | Budget set for the next year |
| Summer | Order the season’s set and spares |
| Before the first home game | Every pair checked and matched |
| Each theme night | Colour set on every remote |

How do you keep a large set matched all season?
- Assign and label a pair to each athlete.
- Keep remotes with the coach and set colours together before each event.
- Keep spares from the same order for replacements.
- Check every pair before road trips.
A programme that performs at forty or more events a year will see wear; replacing from spares in the same order keeps the line matched until the next full order.
What makes a college programme stand out on game day?
- One matched look across cheer and dance, so the sideline reads as one programme.
- A planned moment each game: a fourth-quarter light show, a lights-down introduction or a theme-night colour change.
- Coordination with game presentation, so the lighting cues and the squad’s colour changes land together.
- Visibility at night: the squad is the part of the show that fans in the upper deck see moving.
How do you handle road games and travel?
Pack spares from the same order, keep the remotes and charging gear with the coach, and check every pair the night before travel. Away venues set their own lighting, so plan for full light and use the light-up moment at home games and events the programme controls.
Competition rules vary by event, so check with your event producer before using anything lit in a judged routine; see light-up pom poms at cheer competitions.
How do you request a quote for a college programme?
Email or DM us with the number of athletes, school colours, the first home game date and whether you need a theme colour. We make our light-up products ourselves and will tell you plainly what fits your date. See team orders for how a group order works.
