The most common and well known place to purchase cheerleading uniforms is Varsity Spirit Fashion. But many coaches don't know that they can take another route when purchasing uniforms if their luck hasn't been too good with a certain company or they just want to try something new! There are companies such as TeamCheer, Cheerleading.com, Campus Teamwear, GKElite, and GTM Sportswear! But it's not necessarily the place but the appearance and design that will make your cheerleaders happy!

Tip: If you're squad decides captains or holds tryouts for the next season at the end of the school year you can call a meeting together and discuss opinions and options for uniforms and avoid dislikes and "ew" faces when they're presented. But also remember that as a coach it's not your job to try and please everyone, and even remind the girls that cheerleading as a sport is not just about the uniform, it's merely an accessory to what they do as a squad.

Now let's discuss some uniform options!

 

Classic

The classic uniform can be a good route to take if your squad is on the traditional side or a middle school squad. These squads typically do not stunt or are limited with the stunts they do. Even if your squad is not like this a classic uniform can be well suited for your squad if budget is a concern. These uniforms are generally less expensive since they are from less known companies or they do not have fancy patterns, materials, or metallic.

Motion Wear

Motion Wear uniforms are typically more form fitting and lighter material built to help with tumbling and stunting. These uniforms can be found on many different uniform sites and can be make with rhinestones and metallic sometimes. These uniforms are perfect for squads who focus on a lot of aerobic and stunt work.

College Style

These uniforms are more for basketball cheerleading or stunt squads who's main focus isn't on chants but dancing, tumbling, and stunts. These are similar to motion wear but they're generally tank top with a skirt in spandex material. These can only be used as a secondary uniform if it's on budget.
