The future of All Star is indeed bright
The journey of USASF during the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons has been nothing short of remarkable , and we owe it all to you , our invaluable members .

By diversifying our Board of Directors , we secured representation for the important and varied voices of our vast membership , particularly those closely intertwined with our most precious members — our athletes . We warmly welcome these individuals who bring fresh perspectives and renewed vigor to our leadership team .
In our ongoing dedication to athlete safety , we strengthened our efforts by creating a specialized team focused on athlete protection and member conduct and compliance . This team embodies our firm commitment to The Code , which clearly defines acceptable and unacceptable behaviors while implementing policies and procedures to help safeguard athletes from various forms of misconduct . Additionally , The Code provides a clear process for reporting instances of noncompliance and misconduct . Our dedicated team works diligently and compassionately to address reports of member concerns .
Our member eligibility criteria , which encompass background screenings and abuse prevention education for all adults involved in
working , coaching and competing with minor-aged athletes , remains a point of pride . In June 2023 , we enhanced our background check process with our nationally recognized screening partner , JDP , to include additional steps that verify the authenticity of information provided by member applicants .
We encourage each of you to continue your active involvement with USASF . Together , we uphold the very essence of our mission . We extend our deepest gratitude to those tirelessly advancing our coach and legality official education programs , as well as to everyone dedicated to the safety and well-being of our athletes . With the club owners who help make cheer and dance available in communities across our country and the many other stakeholders , including our great group of partners , who work collaboratively to make our sport better , the future of All Star is indeed bright .
On the pages of this report , you ’ ll see the work that we are doing to enhance the sport . None of this would be possible without the support of our members and partners . We thank each and every one of you for support and belief in us .
