Who this list is for

This packing list is designed for youth cheerleaders and their families preparing for a day-long indoor competition. If your athlete needs to look sharp on the mat and stay comfortable during long waits, this list covers uniform, appearance, and practical venue needs.

How to use this list

Begin by setting aside the competition uniform, shoes, and team bow. Add a practice outfit for warm-ups, plus a warm-up jacket and pants for downtime. Pack two pairs of athletic socks. For hair, include a hairbrush, plenty of hair ties, bobby pins, and hair spray if your team allows it. Don’t forget any makeup required by the team and makeup remover wipes for later. Deodorant is a must for a long day under bright lights.

Avoid bringing full-size hair appliances or extra makeup not specified by the team—space is tight backstage. Skip bulky bags; use a compact duffel or backpack. Don’t pack valuables or non-essential electronics that could get lost or distract from the event.
