As the 2021-22 season comes to a close, we also say goodbye to the 18th Annual Cheerleading Worlds and the 15th Annual Dance Worlds Championships. The 2022 Worlds celebrated the thousands of athletes and coaches who worked tirelessly and safely to sustain All Star as an important sport in their lives over the past year despite challenges. We’re so pleased with the high level of participation, especially by our international All Star teams, and congratulate all the winners whose performances earned them the title of World Champion.

Wish Granted
USASF had the honor of being chosen as this athlete's Make-A-Wish. Savannah, from Iowa, wanted to meet two specific Senior teams at Worlds and we were thrilled to make that happen for her, in addition to meeting our Executive Director Ali Stangle. Thank you, Cheer Athletics, Cheer Extreme and Ali for making Savannah's wish come true!
