Cheerleading coloring pages

Free printable cheerleading coloring pages

Browse cheerleaders jumping with pom-poms, kicking high, or calling out a team cheer with a megaphone. Some drawings show one performer, while others bring a whole squad together in lifts, dance moves, or a pyramid.

The poses make it easy to imagine what happens next: a flyer reaches the top of a stunt, a captain leads a chant, or a team celebrates a big moment. Choose a simple outline for a short activity, or a busy stadium scene when you have time for more detail.

Colors for uniforms, pom-poms, and team spirit

Use your school or favorite team colors for the uniforms, then give the pom-poms a bright contrast so they stand out. Stripes, bows, shoes, and megaphones are good places to repeat those colors and make the whole squad look coordinated.

There’s no single required palette, so invent one if you prefer. Try two bold colors with white accents, or give each cheerleader a different uniform. In the drawings with hearts, flowers, stars, or confetti, small pops of pink, yellow, and blue can make the background feel lively without crowding the main pose.

Cute cheerleaders to color

Chibi and kawaii cheerleaders have compact shapes and expressive faces, making them inviting choices for a relaxed coloring session. Look for a cheerleader doing an airborne split, another surrounded by stars, and a design with confetti that gives you lots of little spots for bright colors.

The cute group also includes three cheerleaders posing together and a Hello Kitty cheerleader with flowers. These scenes work well for choosing a color for each uniform or adding a pattern to bows and pom-poms. A few sparkles or petals can be colored last, once the main figures are finished.

Choose by age and coloring level

A child’s comfort with small spaces and longer coloring sessions matters more than age alone. These ideas can help you pick a drawing that feels manageable, whether you’re coloring together at home or setting out pages for a group.

Easy cheerleading coloring pages for kids

The easy designs suit many preschoolers and 3-year-olds, especially when they show one smiling cheerleader with large pom-poms or a clear jumping pose. The simple squad, high kick with hearts, and cheerleader with both arms raised give young children broad areas to fill without needing to follow lots of tiny details.

For a 7-year-old, try an easy lift or jump split if they want to color a stunt while keeping the shapes clear. A megaphone or a pair of pom-poms also gives them an opportunity to add their own team colors and a short chant.

Medium designs for a little more detail

The medium-level pages add movement and extra scene details, such as a pep rally dance, a two-leg stunt pyramid outside a school, or a cheerleader holding a “We’re #1” sign. They’re a good step up for children who enjoy coloring several figures or adding color to a background as well as the uniforms.

Detailed cheerleading coloring pages for adults

For adults and older colorists, choose the stadium squad, the realistic NFL cheerleader, or the detailed pyramid with pom-poms and confetti. Several uniforms, crowd or background details, and layered stunt poses leave more room for careful shading and color changes.

A three-person team portrait is another option when you want to work on separate outfits and faces. The boy cheerleader with a megaphone offers a clear focal point, while the larger team scenes reward a slower pass through the smaller details.

Print cheerleading coloring pages as PDFs

Select “Open the PDF” to open the drawing, or “Print” to send it straight to a printer; both buttons also work from a phone. Use fit-to-page for a full view of the pose, and choose thicker paper if you plan to color with markers. Colored pencils are handy for small details in uniforms, faces, and confetti.
