Senior Night Cheer Gifts
The symbol of the sport, made specifically for the cheer leader who made it theirs
Cheerleaders are recognized during the same senior night ceremonies as the athletes they support, which means their senior gifts deserve the same level of care, personalization, and quality as any football or basketball senior night keepsake. A cheerleader who gave four years to the squad, showed up to every practice, competed at every game, and poured as much of themselves into the sport as any player on the field earned a gift that specifically honors who they were in that role.
Make-A-Ball's custom cheer megaphone is our third most ordered product for a reason. The megaphone is the symbol of cheerleading the way the football is the symbol of football: it is the object most immediately and specifically associated with the sport. When you personalize a megaphone with a cheerleader's photo, squad colors, role, and a message from the family, you give them something that no other gift can match in specificity. Every megaphone is printed with our exclusive Custom Image Technology. Full-color design that won't fade, crack, or peel. A personalized megaphone is also a great gift for graduation and for the senior whose squad has a competition or championship season to honor.
For individual families ordering one gift and for coaches coordinating a full squad order, Make-A-Ball has the support and production timeline to deliver. Megaphone production is faster than our ball products -- ships in 5-8 business days from proof approval.
Over 54,000 five-star reviews from families, coaches, and programs across every sport. Read what they say.

Frequently Asked Questions About Senior Night Cheer Gifts
When should I order a senior night cheer gift?
Standard production time for megaphones is 5-8 business days from proof approval, which is faster than our ball products. So, order at least 2-3 weeks before your event so there is time for design creation and shipping. Rush orders can be possible; however, Contact Us with your event date, and we will let you know what is possible.
Should I get a custom megaphone or a custom sports ball for a senior cheerleader?
The megaphone is the more cheer-specific choice. It is the symbol of the sport, and personalizing it says "cheerleader" in a way no other gift can. The custom sports ball connects the cheerleader's career to the sport they supported, which is also meaningful. Many families order both: the full-size megaphone as the primary senior night keepsake and a mini megaphone or sports ball as a companion piece. See our blog post on why the megaphone is the ultimate senior cheer gift for a full comparison.
Can the design include the cheerleader's specific role and squad colors?
Yes, and these are two of the most important design elements for a senior cheer megaphone. Role options include: Captain, Co-Captain, Flyer, Base, and Backspot. Send us your exact squad colors when placing your order and our design team will match them precisely. The role designation on the megaphone makes the gift feel specific to this cheerleader's identity within the squad rather than a generic recognition piece.
Can I order personalized megaphones for every cheerleader in the senior squad?
Yes, and full squad orders are one of our most common cheer senior night order types. Every megaphone is independently designed with each cheerleader's individual photo, name, role, and squad colors. A shared base design with individual cheerleader details swapped in is the most popular approach. For orders of 15 or more, contact us before placing for dedicated coordinator support.
What is the best senior night gift for a cheer coach from the squad?
A custom megaphone with the squad photo, the season or competition record, every senior's name, and a message from the class, combined with squad member signatures on the non-printed areas, is the gift cheer coaches keep through every squad they lead. Order the coach megaphone at the same time as the individual cheerleader megaphones and coordinate signatures during the week before senior night. Present it last, after every cheerleader has been individually recognized.
Can a custom megaphone also work as a graduation gift?
Yes. A graduation megaphone can be designed to span the full cheer career rather than just the senior year: the best photo from four years, years of service, and a message honoring both the cheer career and the graduation milestone. For a career-tribute design approach, see our Graduation Sports Gifts page.
How long is the design process?
We turnaround virtual mockups within 24 business hours. If you like your design, you can approve it and we will go to production. If not, you have the opportunity to request edits.
