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
Order one pair of poms per performer, plus about one spare for every 10. A 24-member team orders 26 pairs. For cheer and dance teams buying our light-up pom poms, team pricing is $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs, so that team is $3,120.
Count pairs, not poms: the order math for 2027
A pair is two poms, one for each hand, and every count on this page is in pairs. Start with the number of people who perform at the same moment, add spares, and stop there. Rosters, not budgets, should drive the number.
Here is what real teams ask for. Of the 54 teams that applied to us between late October and early November 2026, the median asked for 17 pairs. 36 asked for 10 to 20 pairs, 16 for 21 to 40, and 2 for more than 40; the largest was 150 pairs, for a district after-school program. See light-up pom poms for every kind of team for how each kind of team counts.
Pairs by squad size, with spares
| Squad size | Pairs for performers | Spares | Pairs to order | Cost at the team rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 10 | 1 | 11 | $1,320 |
| 12 | 12 | 1 | 13 | $1,560 |
| 16 | 16 | 2 | 18 | $2,160 |
| 20 | 20 | 2 | 22 | $2,640 |
| 24 | 24 | 2 | 26 | $3,120 |
| 30 | 30 | 3 | 33 | $3,960 |
| 40 | 40 | 4 | 44 | $5,280 |
Spares cover the pom that gets stepped on, the transfer student in October and the alternate who steps in for a sick teammate. Order them with the main set so every pair matches.

Do alternates, coaches and mascots need their own pairs?
- Alternates who rotate onto the sideline every game need their own pairs. Alternates who only fill in are covered by spares.
- Coaches usually don’t perform, but one pair on the coach’s table helps for teaching motions and testing remote cues before the squad lines up. Many programs make that the first spare.
- Mascots usually don’t carry poms; their hands are busy.
- Dance team officers and captains count like any performer.
If a captain holds the remote during the routine, count her pair like any other performer’s.
Can two squads share one set?
Yes, if they never perform at the same moment. Varsity and JV often split the calendar: varsity on Friday, JV on Thursday, freshman on the road. Count the larger squad, add spares, and one set covers all of them. When they do share a night, such as homecoming or a pep rally, count both squads or give the poms to the squad in front.
Cheer and dance at the same school can share for the same reason. Number the pairs, keep them in one bin, and make one adult responsible for charging by USB-C the day before each event. JV and freshman cheer covers who gets the poms on which night.
Do split colors change the count?
No. One pair can be set to two colors, the raised pom one color and the low pom another, so a two-color school needs the same number of pairs as a one-color school. Six of the 54 teams that applied this fall wanted two or more colors; none needed extra poms to get them.
The one thing to know: a press on the remote switches every pom in range together, so set split colors last. The setup videos show the steps, and two-color pom poms in your team colors has a combo table for common school pairs.
Three worked counts
Squads rarely come in round numbers, so here are three common shapes worked through the same way: performers at the same moment, then spares.
- Varsity of 18 and JV of 12 sharing one set. They never cheer the same night, so count the larger squad: 18 plus 2 spares is 20 pairs, $2,400. At homecoming, JV leads the crowd from the stands while varsity carries the poms.
- A dance team of 26, officers included. Every dancer in the formation needs a pair: 26 plus 3 spares is 29 pairs, $3,480. The first spare lives on the director’s table for teaching.
- A middle school squad of 14 with 3 rotating alternates. The alternates perform every game in rotation, so they count: 17 plus 2 spares is 19 pairs, $2,280.
Whatever the shape, write the count as performers plus spares on the application, so we see the same math you did.
What if the roster changes after you order?
Rosters move: tryouts, transfers, an injury, a midyear addition. Three ways to stay ahead of it:
- Order after tryouts when the date allows, so the count is real.
- Order spares in the first order, so a new member gets a matching pair the same day.
- Count for the bigger season. If basketball adds members, order for the basketball roster.
For what each pair costs in a season budget, see cheer team budget.

Frequently asked questions
How many pom poms does a cheerleader need?
One pair, which is two poms, one per hand. Order one pair per performer plus about one spare per 10.
What is the minimum for team pricing?
10 pairs. Team pricing is $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs, so 11 pairs for a 10-member squad with one spare is $1,320.
Can we get them in our team colors?
Yes. Tell us your colors when you apply. The light color changes by remote, and a pair can be split so one pom carries each team color, with no extra poms.
How do they work?
The diodes are built into each pom, the battery pack charges by USB-C, and one remote switches every pom in range to the same color.
Can we get them in time for our event?
Send us your date with your count. We make the poms ourselves and will tell you plainly what fits.
Do we need spares if the poms are rechargeable?
Yes. Spares are for damage and roster changes, not batteries. One spare per 10 performers is a good rule.
