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 high school cheer coaches and booster clubs: one program-owned set of our LED pom poms glows in school colours on Friday nights, in a dark gym and at pep rallies, and switches to pink by remote for a pink out. Team pricing is $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs, with a written quote for the booster vote.
Where does a high school squad use light-up poms?
| Season | Moment | What the poms do |
|---|---|---|
| Football | Night games, halftime, any stadium light moment | Team colours on the sideline; glow when the lights drop |
| Football | Pink out and other theme games | Switch to the night’s colour, then back |
| Homecoming | The game, the pep rally, the parade after dark | One colour for the whole week |
| Basketball | Lights-down introductions and halftime | The squad stays visible in the dark gym |
| All year | Pep rallies in a dimmed gym | The entrance and the reveal |
| End of season | Senior night | The seniors’ moment in their colour |
Count those moments on your own calendar. If several of them go dark, a light-up set works every one of those nights and still performs as a metallic pom under the floodlights.
Why buy one set instead of several?
A metallic pom is locked to the colour you bought. A season with school colours, a pink out, a whiteout and a holiday game means several sets, several orders and a storage problem. Light-up poms change colour by remote, so one set covers all of them, and a program-owned set serves several seasons. Pick silver streamers if the squad will change colours often, or your main school colour if it will glow in that colour most nights; see cheer pom pom colours.
What should a coach bring to the booster club?
- A written quote with the exact pair count and total.
- The season’s dark moments: which games, rallies and theme nights go dark.
- Who owns the set: the program, so it stays with the coach.
- Video of the poms performing; ask us and we will send it.
- The first date you need them, so the vote happens in time.
| Line | Who usually pays | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Booster club | Booster funds, after a vote | The most common route for spirit equipment |
| Athletic budget | The school, through a purchase order | Attach the quote to the PO request |
| Fundraiser | Earmarked proceeds | Name the goal: one matched set |
| Sponsor | A local business | Thanked at a home game |
| Spirit fee | Families, per athlete | Decide whether athletes keep their pair |
How many pairs does a high school program need?
At our team rate of $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs:
| Group | Pairs | Cost at the team rate |
|---|---|---|
| JV squad of 12 | 14 | $1,680 |
| Varsity squad of 18 | 20 | $2,400 |
| Varsity and JV, 30 together | 33 | $3,960 |
| Cheer and dance, 40 together | 43 | $5,160 |
Pair counts include two spares for groups under 20 and three for larger groups. If JV and varsity share one set, keep it in one order so every pair matches.
What should the coach tell parents?
- Who owns the poms. Program-owned sets are lent for the season and returned; family-paid pairs go home.
- How to look after them: charge by USB-C, store hanging or in a pom bag, keep them out of long soaking. They are water resistant, so a rainy game is fine.
- What happens if one breaks: the coach swaps in a spare from the same order.
- That the coach holds the remote, so the whole squad stays in one colour.
How do you run the set on a Friday night?
| When | What to do |
|---|---|
| The night before | Charge every pair; a charge lasts about two to four hours, depending on colour and mode |
| At the field | Switch on every pair and test the remote from the coach’s spot, within about 65 to 80 feet in line of sight |
| During the game | Lights on for the moments: kickoff, halftime, the light show if your stadium runs one |
| Theme games | Set the theme colour before the squad takes the field |
| After the game | Collect, count and label; spares back in the coach’s bag |

Frequently asked questions
Are light-up pom poms worth it for a high school squad?
If your season has dark moments, such as night games with a light moment, basketball introductions, pep rallies or theme nights, yes. For a daytime-only schedule, metallic poms are enough.
Who usually pays for high school pom poms?
The booster club, the athletic budget, a fundraiser, a sponsor or a per-athlete spirit fee.
Can one set cover pink out and school colours?
Yes. The colour changes by remote, so the squad switches to pink for the night and back after.
How many pairs does a varsity squad need?
One pair per athlete plus two or three spares. A varsity squad of 18 with two spares is 20 pairs, or $2,400 at our team rate.
Can they be used in the rain?
Yes. They are water resistant, built for weather but not for soaking.
Who should hold the remote?
The coach or a captain, within about 65 to 80 feet of the squad with a clear line of sight.
