Are you a new cheerleading coach who just got handed a roster of new cheerleaders, a schedule of games and practices and then were told to find the girls their uniforms? In 2 weeks? Or 1?
Not a problem! We've been helping cheer coaches and youth organizations get their girls dressed quickly for nearly 20 years. We know which outfits work best, look nicest, last longest and most importantly, can get to you quickly. And if by the remotest chance that another recreation center or youth football league comes in and buys out all your sizes in the color you wanted, we promise to have a plan B in mind for you so you don't have to search online for days and days.
Here at ACD SPORTS, we are very picky about the items we offer. We used to be cheer coaches and Booster presidents ourselves. We know what parents want and what the kids want and we know you are in a challenging spot! We hear stories all the time about parents who bully coaches to make them try to find items or colors that just aren't available anywhere in the quick time you need to get your items. No companies can rush this time of year - they are swamped with all the back to school business and fall sports.
Just so you know, most cheerleading uniforms take 10-12 weeks. Schools order them in the spring, right after tryouts. Then there are other cheer companies who order large batches of cheer uniforms from overseas and hope that they have the right sizes and colors in the fall when coaches start ordering. We sell only cheerleading uniforms made in the USA. They are nicer quality than the imports and they are in stock in the USA!
What we did this year is put all of our fastest shipping cheerleading uniforms and top selling accessories like poms, briefs, socks, crop tops, etc, in this section: http://acdsports.com/instockcheer.aspx You can also get to it by clicking on Cheerleading Uniforms then In Stock Cheerleading Uniforms.
The shells and skirts on this page can be mixed and matched. On each description, we also give our recommendation on which skirts look best with which shells. You can see which colors are available for each item by looking at the drop down color list on each page. We have more colors in stock than you'll see from any other company. On the skirts, we list the extra items you may want and the prices - all of these particular items ship very quickly.
What about cheer lettering? This year we are able to offer fast twill lettering for your shells in 7-10 days, not 3-4 weeks like in the past! All you need is a minimum order of at least 6 sets of letters. If you only have 4-5 girls, we can put the extra lettering on a sweatshirt, so it's not wasted. Our lettering comes in 18 different colors and in 1 or 2 color lettering, so you can really dress up your uniform with the colors you need.
What happens if your group has a unique color that is one of the few colors not in stock, like Texas Orange or Cardinal? All uniforms come in black and white and we do have one skirt and one shell that come in all white. We can get your lettering done in the special color and order your poms in that color. Contact us for details, we're happy to help!
So, what do we suggest you do? Look at our In Stock Cheerleading Uniform section. Pick out 1 or 2 shells and skirts that you like that are in your colors and print out the pages. Also print out the lettering page. You can show your other coaches or parents and take a vote as to which ones you want to order. The prices will be right there. You can also decide quickly what accessories you want to add. Come up with a total for each girl and collect the money. Shipping is free for UPS ground as long as you are spending at least $200. And if you put FREE COACH SHIRT in the comment box when you order, along with your size (S - 2XL), we'll send you a free shirt!
Ordering online is fastest for us, but we are more than happy to take your order over the phone too. As for sizing, the size charts are listed on each page and for best fit, you should measure the girls chest and waist. The tops don't stretch, so you may want to bump up a size to be sure they fit at the end of your season too. The skirts have an elastic waist so they fit nicely on all the girls and leave a little growing room. Also, on the size chart we show what approximate store size each piece fits, in case you can't get all the measurements.
Hope that helps - we want you to feel confident that ACD SPORTS is here to help you make your parents happy and your girls look great. We want your girls dressed quickly so they can have the most fun being a cheerleader this season. And we want them to have cute outfits and nice poms like the big girls use - after all, that's why many of them are cheerleaders! We have done this for nearly 20 years. We started this business when we had 350 girls sign up for a community cheer group and had to figure out what they should wear. We've learned a lot over the years and we've helped squads who waited and waited and never got the uniforms they ordered from other companies. We have dressed squads, teams and casts all over the world and got everyone their outfits in time because we only promise what we can deliver and if we see a delay, we come up with alternatives for you immediately.
Enjoy shopping for your cheer uniforms - we hope you'll choose ACD SPORTS this year - we'd love to help you out!
