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
Private and Catholic school cheer and dance teams are often smaller, parent-funded and ordered through the school office. A 10-pair set at our team rate of $120 a pair is $1,200, and it carries game nights, the gala, open house and Catholic Schools Week.
Ordering light-up poms for a smaller private school squad
If your squad is 10 to 15 athletes, coached by a teacher or a parent volunteer, with the money coming from families rather than a district budget line, this guide is for you. That is the size our team rate was built for: $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs, so a 10-member squad qualifies. Of the 54 teams that applied to us this fall, the median request was 17 pairs and 36 asked for 10 to 20.
Below: who signs off at a private school, matching your school colors, the nights that matter most and how families fund the set. For public school, club and college teams, see light-up pom poms for every kind of team.
Who signs off at a private or parochial school?
| Who | What they need from the coach |
|---|---|
| Principal or head of school | The nights the poms will be used and how they fit the school’s image |
| Athletic director | Which games, and where the squad stands |
| Business office | A written total (pairs × $120) and who is paying |
| Parent association or boosters | The per-family share, if families are funding it |
| Advancement or admissions office | Whether the squad will appear at the gala or open house |
If the order runs through the business office even when families pay, the coach’s job is to put one number and one calendar in front of everyone at once. Our guide to buying team pom poms through the school walks through quotes, vendor forms and purchase orders.
Can we get them in our school colors: navy, maroon, gold or green?
You choose the metallic streamer color when you apply: teal, orange, hot pink, purple, green, silver, red, blue, gold or white. The light is full-color LEDs, switched by remote for the whole squad. One pair can also be set to two colors, the raised pom one and the low pom the other, which is how a two-color school shows both at once. Send us your exact school colors (maroon, hunter green, navy, old gold) and we will tell you plainly how close the streamers and lights come.
Among the 54 teams that applied this fall, white was the most requested streamer color (22 teams), then blue (10), red (7) and gold (6). Our color guides for maroon pom poms, green and gold pom poms and gold pom poms show how each reads.
Which nights matter most at a private school?
A private school’s big nights are not only game nights. Plan the set around these:
- Homecoming and the rivalry game. The nights the alumni community comes back.
- The gala or auction. The squad welcomes guests at the door with the lights low. It is the room that funds the school, and the poms show donors what their support looks like.
- Open house and admissions nights. A two-minute pom welcome in a darkened gym is the part prospective families talk about in the car.
- Catholic Schools Week. In 2027 it runs January 31 to February 6, and schools mark it with special Masses, open houses and other activities (source: Diocese of Little Rock: Catholic Schools Week 2027). The poms belong at the assembly, the open house and the basketball game that week; they stay in the bag at Mass.
- The feast day or founders’ day assembly. The school’s own day, with the whole student body in one room.
How do parent-funded budgets cover the set?
When families fund the squad, the math is clean: one pair per athlete, $120 per family. Decide one thing before you collect a dollar: does the school own the set, or does each athlete own their pair?
- The school owns it. Families pay once, the poms stay in the coach’s closet and the next squad uses them. Best when the roster changes a lot each year.
- Each athlete owns their pair. Athletes take them home after the season and seniors keep them. Best when the same athletes cheer for several years.
- The gala pays. Add a “light up the squad” line to the auction paddle raise, so donors fund the set and families pay nothing.
Whichever you choose, put it in writing in the parent letter. A parent association vote goes faster with this booster approval guide.
Cheer and dance on one order
At a small school the same coach may run cheer and dance, or the two teams share a gym and a budget. Order them together so every pair counts toward the team rate, then share one set if the teams never perform at the same time. If they do, split the order by streamer color so each team has its own look. High school dance team poms covers the dance side, and our gear list for new programs helps if your school is starting a team from scratch.
Upkeep is light: each battery pack charges by USB-C and runs 3 to 4 hours per charge, and the setup videos teach a new coach the remote in a few minutes.
Getting the order through the school office
- Count the athletes on the squad (and on the dance team, if ordering together).
- Choose streamer colors.
- List your dates: the first game, the gala, open house, Catholic Schools Week.
- Apply on our team pricing page with those three things.
- Send the total to the business office and the parent letter home the same day.
Apply with your school, your squad size, your school colors and the first date you need them for. 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.
