Cheerleading Outfits

cheerleading outfits

Cheerleading is a sport that encompasses a lot of elements like gymnastics, jumping and a bit of dancing. Dance is a graceful art form with moves that can be categorized as such: Jazz, Ballet, Hip Hop and Foxtrot.

But cheerleading is all about stunts, jumps, lifting and a lot of energy. The team puts up performances during half times and for touchdowns, among other events.

The outfits for cheerleading come in a wide variety of colors and designs that reflect the style and color preferences of the cheerleaders. Most squads prefer a top, skirt or shorts and a pair of shoes that match the uniform. Often the shoes are made with a non-slip sole for safety during routines.

Tops

Most American high school squads have modest-looking uniform tops that are waist length and leave the arms and shoulders open when worn sleeveless. The back construction of most tops leaves bare skin in the lower back area only when the cheerleader is sitting or bending, to comply with the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFSHSA) rules on midriff exposure.

Some uniforms use the latest fabrics for comfort and performance. For example, Varsity Spirit’s PowerFit uniforms use advanced fabric technology for softness, flexibility and breathable performance. Its antimicrobial treatment controls odor, discoloration and staining to keep athletes feeling fresh and looking their best. The fabric also has moisture management to keep athletes cool and dry throughout the competition. The garments are also easy to clean and require minimal maintenance.
