U.S. All Star Federation

happened across the board.

USASF, IASF and Canadian Cheer.

Wow.

Canada.

And, you know, I felt like I hadn't been very involved in the industry and probably a decade, you know, wasn't like I wasn't working.

I was, but, you know, I'd kind of sort of stepped away from being involved in the USASF and different things like that.

And, you know, just kind of doing my own thing.

And I was, I was like, okay, it's time to, I know with anything that you want to be a part of, you also have to serve that, you know, and I was like, okay, it's time to step up and serve again.

Coaches, two things: be sure to turn in your legalities.

One of the best ways to learn the score sheet, one of the best ways to learn the rules is to turn in your legality, have the USASF tell you why-

Is it true now, because I've heard this thrown around more so this last tryout season, that you could try out as a tumbler for a team? Like, you may not necessarily be the greatest at stunting, but you're like, "Okay, I'm just gonna go out and try out as a tumbler.

Like, that's gonna be my designation on the team."

Coaches, two things.

Be sure to turn in your legalities.

One of the best ways to learn the score sheet, one of the best ways to learn the rules, is to turn in your legality, have the USASF tell you why, you know, it's gonna come back illegal, and the USASF tells you why it was illegal, and it teaches you what to look for every time you do a, a similar stunt, right? So it's taught me so much about grips and, you know, hand placement, positioning of where the bases need to stand.

'Cause once they tell you, "Oh, your base was standing in the wrong spot," now you're aware of it, and you know, like, where to look all the time for these different things.

Next question is Nancy from Kansas.

How do I know which option is best for my program, the USASF or the Open Series?

Man, that's a loaded question right there, isn't it? It

sure is.

Yeah.

I mean, I know what I know.

I've been a part of the USASF since its inception.

And the reality is the USASF has been criticized along the years.
