equipo de bastonero(a)s
Explanation:
"Bastoneras" if they're all girls; "bastoneros" if it includes boys.

They use "bastones" (baton twirling).

If that's what it is of course; if not then we're back to square one.

Equipo de ejercicios sincronizados


Explanation:
That's what I would use, except if it has to do with a military drill team, then I would use "Equipo de marcha sincronizada"

agree  Monica Colangelo: Absolutamente. Un drill team no tiene que ver con porristas, sino que es un equipo de gimnasia acrobática
