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 cheer and dance coaches with a date on the calendar: apply with the event date first, then your colors and pair count, and we will tell you plainly what fits that date. Team pricing on our light-up pom poms is $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs.
What should a coach send when the event date is set?
Lead with the date. “Can we get them in time for our event?” is one of the four questions coaches ask us first, and we can only answer it with a real date in hand. Send four things: the event date (and the last practice before it), the event itself, your colors and how many pairs. Add who signs off, so we know whether the quote goes to a school office, a booster board or a gym owner.
Plenty of teams are working to a date. Of the 54 teams that applied to us between late October and early November, 25 needed their poms for a December date, the month of holiday parades, basketball openers and winter showcases. Apply through our team pricing page, and see light-up pom poms for every kind of team for how each kind of team uses the same set.
Plan backward from the date
| Step | What happens | Who does it |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Apply | Send the date, the event, colors and pair count | Head coach or director |
| 2. Quote | We reply with the team order and what fits your date | Neon Cowboys |
| 3. Sign-off | The quote goes to the AD, booster board, owner or club board | Whoever holds the budget |
| 4. Order | Payment and the final count | Treasurer or school office |
| 5. Unbox and charge | Charge every battery pack by USB-C; a red light shows while charging | A team parent or manager |
| 6. First practice with poms | Learn the remote cues: W, MODE and AUTO | Captain with the remote |
| 7. Dress rehearsal | A full run with the lights down | Coach |
| 8. Event day | Charge that morning; one adult holds the remote | Designated adult |
Steps 3 and 4 are where dates slip. A quote that waits for the next board meeting can cost more time than anything else on this list, so find out when your approver meets before you apply.
What if our date is close?
Say so in the first line of your application and give us the exact date. We make the poms ourselves, and we will tell you plainly whether the date fits rather than promise something we can’t keep. Help us answer fast: have your final count, your colors and your approver lined up, so the date is the one open question.
If a close date doesn’t fit, pick the next lit moment on your calendar and plan the poms for that. There is usually a second big night not far behind the first: a parade before senior night, a showcase before a competition send-off. Our pair-count guide helps you settle the count before you apply, so that part never holds you up.
The dates teams order for
- Holiday and lighted parades. A dark street and families on the curb; see Christmas parade float ideas.
- Senior night. The lights go down for the senior walk; see cheer senior night ideas.
- Basketball openers and blackout games. Starting lineups in a dark gym.
- Homecoming. The parade, the pep rally and the game in one week.
- Competition send-offs and showcases. The moments around the mat; see our 2027 competition season plan.
- Recitals and banquets. A lights-down finale or senior recognition; see cheer banquet ideas.
When two of these fall close together, give us the earlier one. That is the date your order has to meet.
Who has to sign off before you can order?
Whoever holds the money. For a school team that is usually the athletic director or principal, often with the booster club; if your purchasing office needs paperwork, tell us what it needs when you apply and we will tell you plainly what we can provide. For a gym or studio it is the owner. For a club or community squad it is the board or the treasurer. Our booster club approval guide has a one-page format approvers like.
Bring the full number to that person, not just the per-pair rate: our team pricing breakdown has totals by squad size, and two-color pom poms in team colors settles the color question before anyone asks it.
Getting the team ready once the poms arrive
Charge first. Plug each battery pack on the handle into USB-C; a small red light shows while it charges. A full charge runs 3 to 4 hours, and white and rainbow use more, so charge again the morning of the event. Then learn the remote at the next practice: W sets white, MODE steps through the colors, AUTO runs the rainbow, and the remote switches every pom in range together. If you’re splitting colors, set the raised pom to one color and the low pom to the other. Our setup videos walk through each step.
Rehearse the light cues in the dark at least once before the event, with the person who will hold the remote on the night. A cue you have only practiced with the lights on is easy to miss in the dark.
Apply with your date
Put the date at the top of your application, then everything else. The sooner we have it, the more plainly we can answer.
Apply with your event date first, then your team name, 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.
