The U.S. All Star Federation (USASF) is committed to creating a safe and positive environment for participants’ physical, emotional, and social development and promoting an environment free from abuse and misconduct. In addition to increased awareness, training, and educational opportunities, we recognize it can be difficult to report an allegation of misconduct and are striving to remove barriers to reporting. The USASF and USA Cheer have developed a UNIFIED REPORTING FORM for the cheerleading and dance community as a tool for understanding and reporting allegations of both abuse and policy violations.

The U.S. All Star Federation (USASF) recognizes that a key element to preventing abuse and misconduct is the implementation of an effective reporting policy that:
Potential abusers will avoid involvement in a program where there is a likelihood that suspected abuse will be reported. When sport stakeholders are untrained about how and when to report suspected abuse, they may feel ill-prepared, powerless and lost when it comes to responding to, and reporting, misconduct. By providing guidance on when and how to report suspected misconduct, the U.S. All Star Federation seeks to remove barriers to disclosing misconduct, including child physical or sexual abuse and misconduct. |
