You're going to want to find a uniform that's comfortable, that you can move in, lift your arms up. As you see, we do a lot of arm lifting and tons of running around.

You're going to want to make sure that you get someone down to your team from that company that you're buying from whether it be Varsity, whether it be Teen Design. Both of which we've used and are both great companies. You're going to want that person to come down, get all the girl's measurements from pants to your actual uniform shell and skirt, to your team jackets. Everything should be fitted to each girl personally so they don't feel uncomfortable while they're cheering at each game. Just besides the uniforms, you might want to get other pieces as well. Shoes.
