The USASF seeks to foster an All Star community that encourages understanding, appreciation and acceptance of all within its membership. We believe that broad representation and participation add significant value to the All Star experience for everyone.
We invite you to explore the many different programs and opportunities that encourage athletes to engage and lend their voices to our continuing efforts toward an inclusive and welcoming experience. A youth sport is best served when the pathway for the youth are able to contribute in a variety of ways and is accessible to all. Visit our athlete membership page for a quick glimpse of USASF athlete opportunities.
Let's Celebrate the Return to All Star!
Thank you for your support of All Star and for making a difference in your athlete's life!

The Inside Track for All Star Parents
Join the All Star Cheer & Dance Parent Connect Band- a platform for parent education that will support a broader understanding of All Star and will keep you up-to-date with new and important information as it relates to USASF events, programs, and initiatives.
As we are in the midst of the competition season, please be sure to learn more about USASF Sanctioned Competitions and how they are the foundation of our commitment to athlete safety and well-being. USASF Sanctioned Competitions have resources to provide the safest and healthiest competitive atmosphere and best possible on- and off-the-floor experience for athletes. Age verifications through the USASF rostering process ensure a level playing field and fair competition and can only be offered at USASF Sanctioned Events. Be sure to KNOW BEFORE YOU GO!
Athlete Safety is our #1 Goal
Nothing is more important to the USASF than athlete safety and we have taken additional safety measures for our youth athletes as part of our goal to create the safest environment for athletes in youth sports. In addition to the previously announced unified athlete safety infrastructure (created in conjunction with USA Cheer, this enables easier, streamlined reporting of complaints for the cheer and dance community through our website) we are providing a dedicated response and resolution services team to conduct, manage and report investigations into potential violations of our athlete safety rules.
With these enhanced practices, which aim to promote and ensure safety, the USASF is focused on enabling member club owners and coaches to access educational and training resources they need to help achieve the organization’s safety goals – and to serve the best interests of our athlete members. Read a recent letter from the Board of Directors to learn more.

Males Advancing Respect, Character and Honor is a youth leadership program facilitated throughout the year by the USASF Leadership team.
All Star athlete and Athlete Advisory Council member, Romy L., recently participated in the USASF Leadership Give Back Project and chose to educate her peers about the importance of sensitivity when interacting with the Exceptional Athlete population. Romy also gives advice for All Star athletes about why it is important to be involved and how participating in these roles supports the USASF mission to truly be an inclusive sport.
Dr. Jamison Green, PhD., of Transgender Strategies Consulting, gives valuable insight about representation in All Star and offers his thoughts about inclusion and its important role in the wellbeing of youth athletes. In his interview he also shares why parents and athletes should get more involved in the organizations they are a part of and discusses the importance of finding an organization that sets out to create policies to support its mission.
