When you order youth cheer uniforms, add the one accessory parents notice from the top row: light-up poms in your team colors. They have no sizes, so the squad keeps them as kids grow, and Neon Cowboys team pricing is $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs.

Ordering youth cheer uniforms and accessories for the 2027 season

The uniform order is the biggest spend most youth squads make, and the hardest one to get right, because every piece needs a size and kids grow between seasons. The accessories fill in around it: bows, shoes, practice wear and poms. Getting the whole order on one sheet, with what needs a size and what doesn’t, saves the board a second meeting.

Below is the order sheet we suggest for a youth football or rec squad, with light-up poms where they belong: as a squad purchase, not a family one. See light-up pom poms for every kind of team for how other squads build them in.

The youth cheer order sheet: what needs a size and what doesn’t

Item Needs a size? Plan to replace Who we suggest owns it
Top or shell and skirt Yes When the athlete outgrows it Family or league, by league policy
Briefs and practice wear Yes Every season Family
Cheer shoes Yes When outgrown Family
Bow One size Each season or with a new design Family or squad
Warm-up jacket Yes Every few seasons Family
Regular poms No When they wear out Squad
Light-up poms No Bought once and kept League or squad, at $120 a pair on 10+

Everything with a size follows the athlete. Everything without one can stay with the squad, which is why poms belong on the program’s side of the sheet.

What do parents notice from the stands?

From the bleachers, most youth cheer uniforms look alike: a shell, a skirt, a bow. What parents notice is color and motion, and after dark, light. A squad holding poms lit in team colors is the photo that ends up on the family group chat and the league’s page the next morning. That is also the photo a parent shows a neighbor when the league is recruiting next spring.

For the bow side of the uniform, our custom cheer bows in team colors covers matching bows to the uniform order.

Do light-up poms come in sizes?

No. Every pom is the same: 7 oz, with the diodes built into the pom itself, through the metallic streamers, not a single light in the handle. The same pair works for the smallest cheerleader on the field and the oldest. When a cheerleader ages up to the next squad or leaves the league, the poms stay behind for the next athlete, so the purchase does not have to be repeated each season the way a shell and skirt do.

That is the argument to bring to the board: one squad purchase, used by many cheerleaders. For pair counts by squad size, see how many pom poms a team needs.

How do you match poms to uniform colors?

Two ways. Choose the streamer color closest to the uniform (teal, orange, hot pink, purple, green, silver, red, blue, gold or white), then set the light by remote. The coach sets the whole squad to one uniform color, and a pair can be split so the raised pom shows one color and the low pom the other; our setup page shows green and white, red and blue, and blue and white. White was the most requested color among the 54 teams that applied to us this fall, picked by 22 of them, and it pairs with any uniform. For a uniform color that does not light, such as black, let the poms carry your other team color and white. See white pom poms for how white works with team colors.

How do you store and charge poms between seasons?

At the end of the season, count the pairs, the remote and the cables, and write the count on the bin. Adults charge each pom by USB-C on the battery pack before storage; a red light shows while it charges. Store the poms with the uniforms so they come out together. Before the first game, charge every pom, test the full set together with the remote (W for white, MODE for colors, AUTO for the rainbow), and check that every pom in range switches. A charge runs 3 to 4 hours. Our setup videos walk a new coach through it, and the rec cheer guide has a sign-out system for programs that share one set.

Add poms to the uniform order

Timing works in your favor. Sized items have to wait until evaluations are done and every athlete is measured. Poms do not, so they can be ordered as soon as the board knows how many cheerleaders it expects. Of the 54 teams that applied to us this fall, 25 needed their poms for a December date, so put your first big date on the application.

Put poms on the same order sheet as the uniforms so the board approves both at once. Our light-up LED pom poms page shows them lit, and the youth football league guide covers pairs by squad size.

Apply with your squad, the number of cheerleaders, your uniform colors and the date of your first game. 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

What is your team pricing?

$120 a pair on 10 or more pairs. 10 pairs is $1,200 and 16 pairs is $1,920.

Can we get them in our team colors?

Yes. Match the uniform by remote, or split a pair so each pom shows one of your two colors.

How do they work?

Adults charge the battery pack on the handle by USB-C. The coach uses one remote to set the color, and every pom in range switches together.

Can we get them in time for our first game?

Send us the date with your application. We make the poms ourselves and will tell you plainly what fits.

Should poms go on the uniform order or the equipment budget?

On the squad or equipment side. Poms have no sizes and stay with the program, unlike shells, skirts and shoes.

What happens to the poms when a cheerleader ages up?

They stay with the squad and go to the next athlete. Nothing needs to be reordered.
