The type of choreography is important in choosing the correct cheerleading pom poms because in general the faster the moves the smaller the cheerleading pompoms should be and vice versa. This is to allow the pompoms to be carried easily while the dance routine is being executed. Secondly, it is also important to take into consideration the age or the size of the cheerleaders; for example, for younger cheerleaders it is probably wise to use smaller cheerleading pom poms. The visual effect that a cheerleading team aims at achieving, also affects the size of the poms because the bigger the cheerleading pom poms the easier they will be seen from afar.
It is also worthwhile to note that cheerleader pompoms fluff during movement and depending on the size of the pom poms, can fluff up to a size of a football or basketball.
