Baton Twirling Supplies For Children

By Marcie Goodman


A majorette group can be a fun class for a child to join. This could be just for fun, or it could be something done competitively. At any level, it is likely that your child will need baton twirling supplies.

Finding an appropriate class for your child is the first step. There are classes available that will be designed with younger children and even toddlers in mind, which can be a good introduction to decide whether competitions are appropriate. However, some clubs will not provide this opportunity, so it is worth checking before you choose the club.

For practising, it is likely that the children will be required to wear regular exercise clothing. For example, a loose top and leggings are suitable for most forms of exercise. As most practices take place indoors, it may be possible for your child to take part without shoes to begin with, although it is likely that trainers or dance shoes will be required for performances and competitions. Leotards are also popular for majorettes.

Club uniforms are usually quite cheap, but are generally worth buying. As well as the practical benefit, your child may also feel a sense of community with their new friends. For club performances, you may also be required to buy the costume as chosen by the group.

There are a variety of costumes available for children to wear for performances and competitions. Most clubs will have a selection and this could be at a subsidised price, but there are also external companies offering choices. This usually provides a wider selection, and there could even be a bespoke service to allow personal designs. There are also options for themed performances, although it is likely that this will be in the form of a leotard made to look like the selected character.

The batons themselves are important to buy. At the very start, your child may be given spare batons from the club to prevent unnecessary cost. However, it will soon become necessary for children to have their own pair. This means they are owned by you, and your child can practice more at home, which is especially important prior to competitions.

There are some embellishments that could be needed for children who wish to compete. Extra things such a sequins and ribbons can be added to costumes and attached to batons for special displays. External majorette suppliers will cater for this, but it may save costs to buy things such as ribbons from normal craft shops, as there will be plenty of choice and it may be the cheapest option.

It is important to find baton twirling supplies if your child enjoys the sport and wishes to continue, particularly to a competitive level. There are various costumes and outfits that could be bought for displays, as well as a leotard or other gym clothing for practices. It is important to buy batons, which will also allow your child to practise at home, and these may be available from the club itself or from external suppliers.
