Athletic Performance Standards

Cheer Coaches: We encourage you to review the Athletic Performance Standards that all USASF teams must follow at USASF-sanctioned events, including The Cheerleading Worlds. Your understanding of these guidelines helps create a positive experience for everyone. Go to page 38, USASF Cheer Age Grid & Rules

Safety Champion

Each team, whether on a hotel travel package or commuter package, MUST designate one person (other than the head coach) to be the Safety Champion. This person must be at least 18 years of age and willing to participate in additional safety training from the Walt Disney World Resort prior to the event. A club bringing multiple teams must designate a different individual for each team.

Each Safety Champion will be confirmed upon registration in Orlando. Their responsibilities will include (but are not limited to) ensuring the team’s athletes, coaches and spectators follow the health and safety requirements for the event. 

A dedicated Safety Champion video will be available here, outlining their specific responsibilities.
