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 school and club competition cheer coaches: plan 2027 around the moments families remember, the send-off, showcase, awards and team photos, and light them with our pom poms, switched together by remote. Team pricing is $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs. Have you seen light-up cheerleading poms by Neon Cowboys?
How do we make 2027 our best competition season yet?
It’s the off-season question every coach asks. Part of the answer is skills and scores. The rest is how the season feels to the athletes and families living it. Have you seen light-up cheerleading poms by Neon Cowboys? They make the whole stadium, the whole stage, glow. A season with a lit send-off, a showcase families film and an awards photo the team frames is the season people remember, and one set of light-up LED pom poms carries all of it.
This plan is for school competition squads and for club and all-star programs. It maps the 2027 calendar, puts the poms where they belong, and tells you what to order before which date. For every kind of team that uses the same set, see light-up pom poms for every kind of team.

The 2027 calendar, and the moment around each date
| 2027 dates | Event | The moment off the mat |
|---|---|---|
| January 29–31 (DII) and February 4–7 (DI) | UCA National High School Cheerleading Championship, Walt Disney World Resort | The send-off pep rally at school before the trip |
| February 12–14 | CHEERSPORT National All Star Cheerleading Championship | The gym’s lit team photo before travel |
| March 12–14 | UCA & UDA All Star National Championship | The awards-night photo, poms in team colors |
| March 19–21 | NCA All-Star National Championship | The welcome-home at the gym |
| April 29–May 2 | The Summit | A season-end showcase for the teams that stay home |
| Your date | Banquet or awards night | The senior send-off with the lights down |
Dates are from the published event pages (sources: UCA National High School Cheerleading Championship 2027, Varsity TV 2026–27 event list). Add your regional and state events, then circle the first moment you want lit. That date, not the competition, is the one your pom order works back from.
Where do light-up poms belong in a competition season?
Off the scored floor, everywhere. Use them for the send-off pep rally, showcase night, exhibition slots, the team meeting at the hotel, the awards photo, the welcome-home and the banquet. School squads also carry them to football and basketball sidelines all season. Grand Canyon University’s dance team lit our poms white at the pep rally that launched its basketball season; the GCU case study shows what that moment looks like in a packed arena with the lights dipped.
For the scored routine, start with the rulebook. USASF’s 2026–27 cheer rules list pom pons among the props a routine may use and note that props aren’t necessary for a routine (source: USASF Cheer Rules 2026–27); school championships publish their own rules. Before you put light-up poms in anything scored, check your rulebook, ask the event producer and keep the answer in writing. Our competition guide lists the questions to ask, and cheer showcase night ideas shows how to build the night families remember.
What should a coach order, and before which date?
Make one list for the season and attach a date to each line: competition bows, warm-ups, practice wear, poms. For the poms, the date is the first moment you want lit, usually the send-off or the showcase, not the competition itself. Of the 54 teams that applied to us this fall, 25 needed their poms for a December date, well ahead of the January and February championships. December is holiday parades, basketball openers and showcases.
When you apply, send that first date and we will tell you plainly what fits; ordering team poms for a date explains what to send. Order bows in the same color at the same time; competition cheer bows covers sizes and colors.
Planning by program type
School competition squads. The head coach plans, the athletic director or booster club signs off, and the money comes from a booster account or school activity funds. Colors are the school’s. The set also runs Friday nights and basketball season, which helps at approval time.
All-star and club programs. The owner signs off, and the set is gym equipment shared across teams; light-up poms for all-star gyms and how private clubs order cover both cases.
Dance studios with pom teams. A new pom category needs its own matched set and a plan for the recital; see dance studio pom teams.
Is a light-up set worth it for one season?
Treat it as more than one season’s purchase. A pair is $120 at the team rate, once. If the set serves three seasons of send-offs, showcases and photos, a 20-athlete set at $2,400 works out to $40 per athlete per season.
The other test is visibility. A metallic pom disappears when the lights go down; a lit pom is what the camera finds. If your season’s best moments happen at night, in a dark arena or on a stage, that is where the set earns its cost. Our competition season planning guide has the full order list.
Start your 2027 order
The coach or program director applies, and whoever signs off sees the quote before anything is ordered. Tell us your first lit moment and your colors, and count one pair per athlete plus spares. When the poms arrive, our setup videos walk the team through charging and the remote.
Apply with your program, your first 2027 date (send-off, showcase or first competition), your colors and how many athletes. 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
Can we use light-up poms in our competition routine?
Check your rulebook and ask your event producer before you put them in anything scored. Teams use them for send-offs, showcase, exhibition, awards, photos and banquets.
What is your team pricing?
$120 a pair on 10 or more pairs. A 20-athlete squad is $2,400.
Can we get them in time for our send-off?
Send the send-off date when you apply. We make the poms ourselves and will tell you plainly what fits.
Can we get them in our team colors?
Yes. One remote sets the whole squad to a color, and each pair can be split across your two colors.
How do they work?
The diodes are built into each pom. Charge the battery pack by USB-C (a red light shows while it charges) for 3 to 4 hours of use, and use the remote’s W, MODE and AUTO buttons to set white, change colors or run the rainbow.
