The US. All Star Federation (USASF) is the governing body for all star cheerleaders and dancing in the United States. The USASF was founded in December 2003 by sponsor sponsors of the National Cheerleaders Association cheers, Universal Cheerleaders Association, Cheersport and America's Best to develop a set of safety and competition rules and conduct Cheerleading Worlds standards.

History
The first organization to call themselves all stars and go to the competition was Q94 Rockers from Richmond, Virginia, founded in 1982 by Hilda McDaniel. All the star teams that competed before 1987 were placed in the same division as teams representing schools and sports leagues. In 1986, the National Cheerleaders Association (NCA) decided to tackle this situation by creating a separate division for teams that did not sponsor school or athletic associations, calling it an 'All-Star Division' and debuting in their 1987 competition. As the popularity of this type of team grows, more and more of them are formed, attending competitions sponsored by different types of organizations and companies, all using their own set of rules, rules and divisions. This situation has become one of the main concerns of gym owners. This inconsistency causes trainers to keep their routine in a constant state of flux, reducing the time that should be spent to develop skills and give personal attention to their athletes. More importantly, as companies continue to compete for competitive advantage, security standards are becoming more and more lax. In some cases, unqualified trainers and inexperienced teams attempt to take dangerous actions as a result of this "expanded" set of rules.
USASF was formed in 2003 by various competition companies to act as a national body for all star cheerleaders. The main purpose is to create a set of standard rules for the assessment to be followed by all competitions approved by the Federation. At the same time, cheerleading coaches from across the country organize themselves for the purpose of creating the same rules, calling themselves the National All-player Coaches Congress (NACCC). In 2005, NACCC was absorbed by USASF and became their regulatory body. At the end of 2006, USASF was ready to expand its reach further, facilitating the establishment of the International All-Star Federation (IASF), the first international body for cheerleaders. In 2008 a decision was made to commence the biennial process, making the 2009/10 season and the 2010/11 cycle cycle the first two-year rule. The rules system has helped set the level democratically (1 to 6) in all star cheerleaders.
Cheerleading Championship
The main competition for the All Star Cheer is the annual World Cheerleading Championships, also known as Cheerleading Worlds, held at ESPN World Sport Complex in Orlando, Florida. USASF hosted the first Cheerleading Worlds on 24 April 2004. Only senior level 5 and 6 teams can qualify for the event by accepting an offer to attend from one of several qualifying competitions (Youth, Junior and Senior Divisions Level 5 limits may not accept bids). In 2007, more than 100 teams from 15 different countries competed in the event. In 2009 more than 30 countries participated. American teams have won the majority of awards.
Dance Championship
In 2007, USASF started a new competition called The Dance Championship.
