LED Pom Poms — Team Order
Metallic streamers with LEDs built into the pom, a rechargeable pack, and one remote that changes the whole team’s color at once.
$120 USD per pair · 10-pair minimum
For coaches ordering poms for a whole squad: our light-up pom poms glow in your team colours and change colour together from one remote, so every pair matches on the same count. Order one pair per performer plus two or three spares. Team pricing is $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs.
How many pairs should a team order?
Count pairs, not poms. A pair is two poms, one for each hand, and one pair outfits one performer. A squad of 16 that carries poms in every routine needs 16 pairs before spares, not eight. Count everyone who performs with poms: varsity, JV if they share the set, the dance team if it uses the same colours, alternates who rotate in, and a demo pair if your coach teaches with one.
| Group | Pairs | Cost at the team rate |
|---|---|---|
| Squad of 10 | 12 | $1,440 |
| Squad of 16 | 18 | $2,160 |
| Squad of 24 | 27 | $3,240 |
| Cheer and dance together, 36 | 39 | $4,680 |
Pair counts include two spares for squads under 20 and three for larger groups. The Purdue Golduster Dance Team, the dance line of the Purdue “All-American” Marching Band, ordered 24 pairs from us in September 2026 and performed with them on the field with the band.
Why should spares come in the same order?
Spares are the cheapest insurance on a team order. Ordered with the set, they match the rest of the squad’s streamers and handles and are checked with everything else. They cover the three things that happen every season: a new athlete joins after tryouts, a pom gets stepped on or left on a bus, and someone forgets theirs on game day.
- Under 20 performers: two spare pairs.
- 20 or more: three spare pairs.
- Two squads sharing one set: spares for each squad, kept by each coach.
Topping up later from a separate order works, but pairs from different orders rarely match exactly, and a squad that doesn’t match from the stands is the problem you paid to avoid.
How do you choose colours on a team order?
A light-up pom has two colours, and a team order settles both.
| Decision | What it controls | Your options |
|---|---|---|
| Streamer colour | What the crowd sees in daylight and under floodlights; the streamers are metallic | Teal, orange, hot pink, purple, green, silver, red, blue, gold or white |
| Light colour | What the crowd sees when the lights go down; the diodes are built into the pom | Set by remote, and changed any night |
| Custom mix | Different streamer colours across the squad | On 10 or more pairs, confirmed with you before production |
Most squads pick the streamer in their main school colour, or silver if they will change light colours often, and run the light in team colours at home games. If you want a split set, with the raised pom in one colour and the low pom in another, ask for it on the quote. The full guide is in cheer pom pom colours for a squad.
Who signs off on a team pom order?
| Who | What they approve | What they need from you |
|---|---|---|
| Head coach or director | Headcount, colours and the first date the set is needed | A roster with alternates |
| Athletic or activities director | The purchase and how it fits the season | A written quote and the reason for the set |
| Booster club treasurer | Payment from booster funds | The quote, the vote date and who receives the order |
| School business office | A purchase order, if school funds pay | The quote and the vendor details your district asks for |
| Parents | Their share, if a spirit fee covers the set | The cost per athlete and whether they keep the pair |
Get the quote before the approval meeting, not after. A booster vote or a purchase order that names an exact amount moves faster than one that says “about”.
Which budget line pays for team poms?
| Line | Who usually pays | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Athletic or activities equipment budget | The school, through a purchase order | Program-owned; the set stays with the coach |
| Booster club | Booster funds, after a vote | Often the quickest route once the season has started |
| Fundraiser | Earmarked proceeds | Name the goal: one matched set |
| Spirit fee | Families, per athlete | Decide up front whether athletes keep their pair |
| Sponsor | A local business | Thank them at a home game |
Decide who owns the set before you order. Program-owned poms are labelled, counted and returned at the end of the season, and a set used for several seasons costs far less per year than buying new every fall. Athlete-owned pairs go home with the athlete, which suits squads that charge a spirit fee.
What should a quote request include?
- Pair count, with spares, and how many performers that covers.
- Streamer colours: one colour for the set, or a custom mix and how many of each.
- Team colours for the lights, plus any theme-night colours you already know.
- The first date you need the set: a game, a showcase or a camp.
- Who pays and how: purchase order, booster check or card.
- Who approves, and the date of that meeting.
Send us the date first. We make the poms ourselves and will tell you plainly what fits before anyone votes.
What goes wrong on bulk pom orders?
| Mistake | What it costs | The fix |
|---|---|---|
| Counting poms instead of pairs | Half the squad empty-handed | One pair per performer |
| No spares | A gap in the formation on game day | Two or three spares in the same order |
| Topping up from a later order | Pairs that don’t match | Order the whole squad at once |
| Colours changed after approval | A second round of sign-off | Agree colours before the quote |
| Waiting for the budget before asking for a quote | A vote with no number on it | Quote first, then approval |
| Nobody owns the remote | Poms in different colours mid-routine | One remote, one named person |
How do you keep a team set working all season?
- Label every pair with the athlete’s name and keep a sign-out sheet.
- Charge by USB-C the night before each game; a charge lasts about two to four hours depending on colour and light mode.
- One remote runs every pair from about 65 to 80 feet with a clear line of sight, so decide where the person holding it stands.
- Check every pair before travel, not at the venue.
- They are water resistant, so rain won’t stop a game, but they are not for soaking.
- Store them hanging or in a pom bag, not crushed in a duffel.
How do you request a team quote?
Email or DM us with the pair count, streamer colours, team colours and the first date you need the set. We make the poms ourselves and will tell you plainly what fits your date, with a written quote you can take to your booster club or athletic director. If you want to see them perform first, ask and we will send video.
Frequently asked questions
Is a pair of pom poms one pom or two?
Two. One pair is one pom for each hand, so one pair outfits one performer.
How many pom poms does a cheer team need?
One pair per performer who carries poms, plus two spares for squads under 20 and three for larger groups, all in the same order.
What is the team rate on light-up pom poms?
$120 a pair on orders of 10 or more pairs. A squad of 16 with two spares is 18 pairs, or $2,160 at that rate.
Can a team order mix streamer colours?
Yes. On 10 or more pairs you can order a custom mix of streamer colours, and we confirm the breakdown with you before production.
Who usually pays for team pom poms?
The athletic or activities budget through a purchase order, the booster club, a fundraiser, a sponsor or a per-athlete spirit fee.
Can we add pairs to our set later?
You can, but pairs from a later order rarely match exactly. Order spares with the set.
Can we see the poms before we order?
Yes. Ask by email or DM and we will send video of them performing.
