How to pick the right name
- Say it out loud. One or two words that are easy to chant and easy for an announcer to read.
- Match your look. A name that goes with your colours and mascot makes bows, uniforms and logos easier.
- Fit the age. Cute for tiny teams, strong for senior teams. A gym can keep one word across levels (Lady Panthers, Mini Panthers).
- Check it is free. Search the name with "cheer" and your state or province, look through recent competition results, and check your country's trademark database before you order anything with the name on it.
