How do we make 2027 our best season yet? That is the question every coach who applies to us is really asking. Light-up pom poms answer it in one move: the diodes are built into each pom, the whole squad changes color together by remote, and the stadium, the gym or the stage can see your team from the top row. Below are the guides we wrote for each kind of team, from the budget to the big night.

Which teams use light-up pom poms?
| Team | Their big nights | Who usually pays |
|---|---|---|
| Youth football and rec cheer | Late-season games, parades, league competitions | Parents and the league board |
| High school cheer and dance | Friday night lights, basketball blackouts, senior night, state | Booster club or the school |
| Middle and elementary programs | Assemblies, halftime visits, spring shows | PTO, school or the district |
| All-star gyms, clubs and studios | Showcase, open house, recital finale | The gym, studio or member dues |
| College spirit programs | Game day, pep rallies, media day | Athletics or the spirit program budget |
| Military academy spirit teams | Rivalry week and night games | The spirit program |

What coaches ask us first
What is your team pricing?
Light-up LED pom poms are $120 a pair when your team orders 10 or more pairs. Apply on our team pricing page with your team, your date, your colors and how many athletes, and we reply with your quote.
Can we get them in our team colors?
Yes. The poms change color by remote, so the whole squad switches together: your school color for every game, pink or red-white-and-blue on a theme night. One pair can also be set to two colors, one pom in each of your team colors.
How do they work?
The LED diodes are built into the pom itself, not a single light in the handle, so the whole pom glows. Each pom has a rechargeable battery pack that charges by USB-C and runs 3 to 4 hours per charge. One remote switches every pom in range at once. Our setup videos show each step.
Can we get them in time for our event?
Tell us your date when you apply. We make the poms ourselves and will tell you plainly what fits; the earlier you apply, the more options you have.
How many pairs does a team usually order?
Of the 54 teams that applied to us between late October and early November 2026, the median order was 17 pairs; 36 teams asked for 10 to 20 pairs and the largest request was 150 pairs for a district after-school program.
What color do most teams order?
White was the most requested color this fall (22 of 54 teams), then blue, red and gold. White poms read on any uniform, and because the poms change color by remote, a white set still switches to your colors on cue.
