There is nothing worse than opening a box of brand-new cheerleading uniforms and discovering that half the team cannot fit into their assigned sizes. Wrong sizing means lost time, reordering costs, and athletes in ill-fitting uniforms on competition day.
The good news: getting sizes right is simple if you follow a consistent measurement process and communicate clearly with your manufacturer.
This guide covers everything you need to know.

How to Measure Athletes: The Standard Method
For the most accurate sizing, measure each athlete individually. Here is how:
- A soft measuring tape
- A measurement sheet (or app) to record results
- An assistant to help with back measurements
- Athleten in minimaler Kleidung (Übungsbenutzung oder Unterwäsche)
Wrap das Band um den vollständigsten Teil der Brust, Halten Sie es parallel zum Boden. Athleten sollten natürlich stehen - nicht ihren Atem halten oder aufblasen.
Messung um den engsten Teil der Taille. Dies ist in der Regel um den Nabelniveau.
Messung um den vollständigsten Teil der Hüften und Gesäße, Halten Sie das Band parallel zum Boden.
Messung von der Schulter (wo der Gürtel den Körper trifft) zur Taille. Dies ist entscheidend für die Bestimmung, ob ein Crop-Top-Stil eine richtige Abdeckung bietet.
Messung vom Geschnitt bis zum gewünschten Boden der Shorts oder des Rock.
Gerade gegen eine Wand stehen, Messung vom Boden bis zur Oberseite des Kopfes. Höhe hilft bei der Gesamtverhältnisbewertung.

Understanding Cheer Uniform Sizing Charts
Cheerleading uniform sizes typically follow a modified ladies’ sizing system, but they vary by manufacturer. Always use the manufacturer’s specific size chart — not a generic size chart.
- Youth: 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16
- Ladies’: XS (0-2), S (4-6), M (8-10), L (12-14), XL (16-18), XXL (20-22), 3XL (24-26)
| Größe | Chest (in) | Waist (in) | Hips (in) |
|——|———–|———–|———-|
| XS | 30-32 | 24-26 | 32-34 |
| S | 32-34 | 26-28 | 34-36 |
| M | 34-36 | 28-30 | 36-38 |
| L | 36-38 | 30-32 | 38-40 |
| XL | 38-40 | 32-34 | 40-42 |
| XXL | 40-42 | 34-36 | 42-44 |
Note: These are example measurements. Always refer to your specific manufacturer’s size chart.

Common Sizing Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Many athletes wear different sizes in street clothes versus athletic uniforms. Always measure individually.
Measuring over hoodies, jackets, or bulky layers results in sizes that are too large. Measure over minimal clothing.
If your season runs 6+ months, athletes may grow during the season. Consider ordering one size up for younger athletes.
Two athletes with the same chest measurement may need different sizes depending on their waist and hip proportions. Always measure all key dimensions.
Write measurements legibly and have the athlete confirm them. A misplaced decimal or unclear digit can cause errors.
