Process
The coach and program owner representatives of the National All Star Connection (NASC) have developed our standard code. These are the values
we collectively put forth for all members. We expect all members to adhere to the rules implemented by the USASF. We expect the USASF and its
members to enforce the rules. Additionally, we expect all members of the USASF to establish business practices that are in alignment with the core
ethical values the National All Star Connection (NASC) has established.
Below is a list containing a few of the ethical standards many coaches, program owners and athletes strive to adhere to in All Star Cheer and Dance.
They are not intended to be an all-encompassing solution for every situation, however when the legal system fails us, ethics stand in the gap. These are
not regulations or rules merely the ethical standards to which the All Star Cheer and Dance community strives to attain.
• I, pledge as a member of the USASF, I will not initiate contact with other programs athletes and families in an effort to solicit or
otherwise entice them to leave program they belong to and participate in my program. This practice is unethical.
• I, pledge as a member of the USASF, I will not encourage any of my athletes or family members to contact other programs athletes and families
during the competitive season in an effort to solicit or otherwise entice them to leave the program they belong to and participate in my program.
This practice is unethical.
• I, pledge as a member of the USASF, I will honor and encourage everyone to respect all mutual agreements/contracts made between people whether
formal or informal by programs, coaches and athletes.
• I, pledge as a member of the USASF, I will promote honest and respectful communications between athletes families, coaches and program owners.
