Cheer Shorts

There are three basic types of cheer shorts. Spankies, which are worn under the uniform skirt to ensure privacy.  Skorts, which substitute cheerleading skirts.  Lastly, practice shorts, which are used in practicing for comfort.  These shorts can all come in useful for any cheerleader and can be beneficial to have when the need rises. Cheerleaders of any age will need shorts for their cheerleading career.

Spankies are tight briefs that are worn under a cheerleading uniform for privacy. When performing many cheerleading moves cheerleader’s skirts are lifted and spankies will ensure the privacy of every cheerleader.  Because these cheer shorts will be seen by those watching the performance it is important to purchase them with school colors in mind.  Spankies should match the uniform as best as possible to ensure a professional performance.
 
Skorts are used in uniforms in place of cheerleading skirts. Skorts resemble cheerleading skirts very much and are often not recognized. Skorts are in fact not skirts at all, they are cheer shorts. Skorts allow privacy of a cheerleader during a performance without the worry of having to purchase additional clothing. Skorts are helpful when performing moves where a skirt would fall or be lifted. Because skorts replace cheerleading skirts it is important to discuss purchasing one with your cheerleading coach before buying one.  

Practice shorts can be purchased at most retail clothing stores. In practice it is important for a cheerleader to be comfortable so they are able to learn their moves. Practice cheer shorts give the cheerleader optimal comfort and privacy. Practice shorts can be purchased in any color, because they will only be used in practice.
