Cheer Pins Built for Competition Teams
Trading pins have exploded at cheer competitions nationwide. All-star gyms competing at The Cheerleading Worlds, NCA Nationals, UCA Nationals and Summit use pins to celebrate the journey, and school squads create pins for state championships and regional events.
Matching pins on warm-up jackets and gym bags build real team unity. Parents collect them year after year, building a timeline from tiny all the way through senior elite divisions, and many gyms sell extras as fundraisers to offset competition costs.

Are trading pins popular at cheerleading competitions?
Yes! Trading pins are increasingly popular at cheerleading competitions, especially at major events like The Cheerleading Worlds, NCA Nationals, UCA Nationals and regional championships. Teams use pins to commemorate the competition experience, build squad unity and trade with teams from other gyms and states. Pin trading isn't yet as universal as in baseball, but many competitive all-star cheer programs and school cheer squads now create custom pins for championship appearances and end-of-season celebrations.
What design elements work best for cheer pins?
The best cheerleading pin designs are full of movement: cheerleaders in stunts (liberty, scorpion, heel stretch), pyramids, tumbling passes, pom-poms, megaphones and bows. Glitter is a must, especially for backgrounds, uniforms and bows. Most squads work in team colors, mascots and competition logos. All-star gyms often add level badges (Level 1-6) and division identifiers, and school cheer teams feature mascots and school colors. Sparkle, movement and energy capture cheer's spirit.
Can I add individual cheerleader names to pins?
Absolutely! Many squads add cheerleader names around the pin's border or on individual danglers attached below the main pin. It works especially well for small all-star teams (15-20 athletes), where every name fits legibly. For larger school squads (30+ cheerleaders), try jersey numbers instead, or create position-specific pins for flyers, bases and tumblers. Team roster pins with every name become treasured keepsakes of a special season.
What size pins are best for cheerleading teams?
The 1.5 inch size is the most popular across all levels, with the best balance of detail, sparkle and budget. Youth cheer teams (ages 6-10) do great with 1.25-1.5 inch pins, junior and senior all-star teams (ages 11-18) usually prefer 1.5-1.75 inch pins for detailed stunts, glitter backgrounds and team names, and high school varsity squads often choose 1.75-2 inch pins for maximum visual impact at competitions.
How many pins should a cheer squad order?
Most cheerleading squads order 100-200 pins. Small all-star teams (12-20 athletes) order 100-150 pins, about 8-10 per cheerleader for trading and keeping. Larger school squads (25-35 cheerleaders) typically order 150-200 pins, and many teams sell extras to parents and fans as fundraisers. Headed to a big multi-day event like Worlds or Nationals? Aim for the higher end so your squad never runs out of pins to trade.
