Collection: Cheerleading Trophies & Awards

Awards for Cheer Squads and Competitions

From sideline squads to competitive all-star teams, cheerleading trophies celebrate the spirit and athleticism of the sport. Cheer competitions award placing teams, while school squads and camps recognize individual cheerleaders at season end. Performing team? See dance trophies.

Youth Recreational Cheer

For little cheerleaders on a youth football or basketball sideline, a cheerleader figure or cheerleader bobble-head with her name on it is the highlight of the season. Pom-pom girl and megaphone chenille pins make fun extras for bows and bags.

School, All-Star and Competition Squads

Competitive and school squads usually mix team and individual honors. Taller cheer figures, insert trophies, diamond resin plates and gold frame awards suit captains and seniors, while varsity and junior varsity chenille pins mark each cheerleader's level.

Cheer Award Ideas

Cheerleader of the year, best spirit, best stunter, best flyer, best base, best tumbler, most improved, leadership, rookie of the year and coach's award. More standout ideas are in All-Star & MVP.

Medals vs Trophies at Cheer Competitions

Competition organizers typically hand cheer medals to every athlete on a placing team and a team trophy or championship cup to each division winner. For an end-of-season squad banquet, individual trophies with each cheerleader's name make the more lasting keepsake.

Sample Engraving for Cheer Awards

Trophy plates commonly fit up to 30 characters per line. A few examples:

• Spirit Award / Valeria Gomez / Varsity Cheer 2026
• Best Tumbler / Junior All-Stars / Spring 2026
• Thank You Coach Lina / Love, Your Squad

Ordering for the Whole Squad

Coaches and booster parents can personalize every award in one pass: choose "Different on each item," type each cheerleader's name in the grid or paste the squad list from Excel, and the quantity updates to match. Many products accept a gym or school logo. For bigger squads, browse trophies under $8.

Competition Season and Banquet Timing

School sideline cheer follows the football and basketball seasons, while competitive all-star cheer runs most of the year with events on many weekends, so gyms often reorder medals. Event producers need award counts by division and placement, so gather team sizes early. A perpetual plaque in the gym lobby is a great way to celebrate each year's captain or cheerleader of the year, and a bobble-head makes a lighthearted award for the squad's biggest personality. Many squads also recognize flyers, bases and back spots separately, since stunting is a team effort, and a set of matching figures with each position engraved on the plate shows that every role matters. Graduating seniors often receive a larger figure or a gold frame award with their years on the squad.
