CERTIFIED
CERTIFIED is a term used to describe a USASF LEGALITY OFFICIAL . A legality official plays an integral role at USASF-sanctioned competitions by ensuring fair competition for all participants . Much like a referee in a basketball game or an umpire in baseball , a legality official brings legitimacy and integrity to the sport by enforcing the rules of All Star . A legality official is not a scoring judge as the USASF does not certify , train nor govern any aspect of competition scoring .
GREEN LIGHT
The United States All Star Federation has taken important steps to ensure the highest level of safety within our All Star member organizations . One of these steps is a required background screening with a GREEN LIGHT determination for an adult member who accompanies a team into a warm-up or backstage area at all USASFsanctioned competitions . This includes club owners , coaches , volunteers and non-coaching staff members associated with a club . Additionally , adult athletes are required to be screened before eligibility status is granted .
The United States All Star Federation is proud to partner with JDP , which facilitates all background screenings of our adult members . This includes a comprehensive screening program using JDP ' s full-service product and a simple red light / green light determination report issued in accordance with the criteria chosen by the USASF . Only applicants receiving a green light report will be considered for eligible membership .
