USASF ATHLETE MEMBERSHIP

More than a membership. A place to belong.

Our athletes become part of a community built on connection, opportunity, protection, and belonging. Membership is required to compete at USASF-sanctioned competitions and to earn bids to The Cheerleading Worlds® and The Dance Worlds™ championships, but it opens to the door to much more!

        Athletes who are 18 and older or will be turning 18 at any time during the competition season (June 1 - May 31) are identified as ADULT ATHLETES. All adult members are required to     complete background checks and abuse prevention education. The links to those items are found on the athlete account DASHBOARD. Once completed and a background check     green light is received, your athlete will become eligible to compete.
    Can I get a refund? My child is no longer participating in an All Star club and has not yet competed. 
        Due to the significant volume of access and resources, memberships are non-refundable following the completion of the purchase. During the payment process you agreed to the     non-refundable and non-transferable terms of membership.

    How do I file a member insurance claim for an accidental  injury that occurred at practice or in competition?

    Member Accident Insurance Program (MAIP).
    When athletes and coaches join or renew their membership, they become eligible for the Member Accident Insurance Program. The MAIP provides $50,000 excess accidental medical insurance coverage should an eligible, qualifying member be injured while training for, warming up at or performing at a USASF sanctioned competition. NOTE: Coverage only applies to on-site practices and competitions at USASF-sanctioned competitions and at supervised practices and instruction in member clubs. CLICK HEREto see complete details for MAIP.
    Why do I need to provide you with my child’s birth certificate?
        The USASF verifies the age of each athlete to ensure fair play.
    May I mail/email my athlete’s birth certificate to you?
        No, we only accept the digital upload. If you’re having difficulty with the upload, check the file size. If you continue to have difficulty, contact support@usasf.net.
    I accidentally uploaded one child’s birth certificate to my other child’s profile. How can this be corrected?
        Contact support@usasf.net for assistance. 
    I don't have an official copy of my child’s birth certificate. Will you accept anything else as proof of my child’s birthdate?
        Yes, we accept passports, state-issued IDs, military IDs and driver's licenses.
    How do I add/drop/change a club in my athlete’s profile?
        You will have the opportunity to add or change a club during the renewal/registration process. If a change is needed after you have completed the renewal/registration process:
        - Log in at usasfmembers.net.
        - From the DASHBOARD, click DROP next to the club name to remove the current club.
        - Click FIND to search your new club and request to be added. 
        - Your athlete’s name will appear on the club's athlete list as pending approval. Your club is familiar with the process to approve your request.
    It says pending approval next to my athlete's club name? What do I need to do to become approved?
        The club owner must approve your request from their club portal. Please let the club owner know that you have requested to be added and are still pending their approval.
    Can I change clubs in the middle of the season?
        An athlete has the right to leave a club and go to another club at any time during the season. The USASF highly recommends that all financial obligations to the original CLUB A be     met before moving to the new CLUB B. No official release is required. 
        If an athlete leaves CLUB A to compete at The Cheerleading/Dance Worlds with CLUB B, a Club Release Waiver is required. The decision to sign or not sign the release waiver is at the      discretion of the CLUB A.
          A waiver may be downloaded from thecheerleadingworlds.net or thedanceworlds.net.
