Dear USASF Member:
As we wind down the 2020-21 season, we wanted to share some exciting things we have planned for you in 2021-22. Please read so you are informed.
USASF and Safe@AllStar Announce New Partnership in Athlete Protection
U.S. All Star Federation, dedicated to driving excellence in All Star Cheer and Dance, and Safe@AllStar today announced a new partnership that will enhance athlete protection. Through this partnership, Safe@AllStar will provide safety and security services to include: the Safe@AllStar mobile app; child sexual abuse awareness and prevention training; and ongoing consulting, and crisis response and management for club owners to support the athlete protection measures used by the USASF.

Membership Season EXTENDED!
The USASF has always known that we are much stronger when we act together. In light of an abbreviated season for many, all USASF memberships have been extended through June 30, 2021. We hope this extension provides the flexibility some may need to complete the current competition and tryout season. Enrollment for the 2021-22 season will begin July 1 when we’ll be introducing exciting new opportunities to enhance member benefits including athlete protection. Stay tuned for more details.
All in for All Star
The USASF's mission is to support and enrich the lives of our All Star athletes and members. Through our member coaches, owners, event producers, and staff, we look to uphold these pillars through transparency and the growth of All Star. The pandemic pause gave us the opportunity to take a look at where we want the future of All Star to be. We hope you'll continue to take part and join our Interim Executive Director, Ali Stangle, as she leads us through this journey.
Meet the 2021 class of Scholarship Recipients
For 14 consecutive years, high school senior athletes have been awarded USASF scholarships to support their respective college educations. Each scholar selected is well-rounded in academics, leadership, integrity and excellence, as well as an example of remarkable commitment to sportsmanship in the All Star cheer and dance community.
This year, scholarships totaling $46,500 were awarded to 16 athletes, including the first recipient of the USASF Exceptional Athlete Scholarship. The USASF Scholarship Fund was established in 2008 through a deep collaboration between the USASF and their affiliate partners to support member athletes in their collegiate pursuits. Overall, the USASF has awarded over $500,0000. Please join us in congratulating the 2021 USASF Scholarship Winners.
