Welcome to The Cheerleading Worlds 2018!
The United States All Star Federation (USASF) hosts just two competitions a year – The Cheerleading Worlds and The Dance Worlds.
The event producers of premier championships sponsor their best teams to compete at these international competitions. Cheer and
dance teams from all over the world may qualify to compete in either Senior Club or International Open Club divisions.
   In 2018, each paid bid to The Cheerleading Worlds will cost the sponsoring event producer up to approximately $25,000 for each
team they send. Given this, and the fact that many event producers are giving multiple bids, it is easy to see that these event
producers are allocating substantial resources to support the teams that participate in their respective competitions. Event producers
select teams of the highest caliber from their bid-winning events to represent their respective companies at The Cheerleading Worlds.
