Cheerleading pom poms are colorful accessories used by cheerleaders to enhance their performances. Typically made of plastic or metallic streamers, they create a vibrant visual effect when shaken or waved. Pom poms come in various sizes and colors, often matching the team's uniform or school colors. These props are not only decorative but also serve to energize the crowd and support the cheerleaders' routines. The rhythmic movement of pom poms adds excitement to cheers and chants, making them an essential part of cheerleading at events like football games and basketball games.
