Christmas is around the corner and most schools are wrapping up their fall sport season which means a ton of great opportunities for school spirit across the country over the past couple of months! One of the greatest roles cheerleaders have is to be ambassadors for their schools/universities/and/or community groups! USA Cheer has had a busy summer/fall working on a whole new platform for our memberships and the sport of cheer – STUNT! We are optimistic that the changes we’ve made will only encourage more coaches to educate themselves on safety while making the process more user friendly. Our goal is to offer the most comprehensive credentialing for coaches for cheerleading and to help our coaches understand their role and keeping their programs safety as their #1 priority! We are looking forward to many coaches taking advantage of our coach memberships along with additional rule certifications for the different levels of participation.

National Team
For the first time, the national team competed on foreign soil and won GOLD! We were proud to put a team together for the first ever FISU World University Cheerleading Championship over in Poland. FISU has been organizing championships for over 30 sports for nearly 60 years and we are excited that they added cheerleading to their championship events this year. FISU’s event is different than our ICU world championship in that their eligibility requirements differ. For FISU, you have to be 25 year or younger and currently pursuing a college degree! The team came together for just 2 ½ days in CA prior to departing for Poland. To learn more about our experience, check out the following daily insight blog from one of our national team members Millery!

Our national teams for 2019 selection registration is open! Whether you are an individual aspiring to be on one of our premier all girl or coed teams (18+ years of age) or to have your team or program represent USA Cheer in international competition in the para cheer, special abilities, dance or junior teams, check out the requirements and deadlines on how to be a part on our website:
