Female cheerleaders did not appear until the 1920s and the first use of pompons was in the 1930s, which were handmade from paper. Fred Gastoff invented the first vinyl pompoms in 1965, first used by the International Cheerleading Foundation.
Pompons are used in cheerleading routines to enhance and emphasize movements, jumps, and cheers. Cheerleaders often incorporate pompons to add visual appeal and create dynamic visual effects during performances. The bright colors and motion of the pompons help to engage the audience and add energy to the routine.
