USASF LogoCredentialing

Credentialing will be offered at each meeting location. If you or members of your staff have credentials that have already expired or expire during the 2012-2013 season a Regional Meeting is your best opportunity to get it done!

Cheer &  Dance Safety Judge Training and Rules Course

Cheer &  Dance Safety Judge Training and Rules Course will be offered at each location. Judging candidates may register to attend the safety judge training only or are welcome to join us for the Regional Meeting. You must register for the events you want to attend. Coaches are invited (and encouraged) to attend the safety judge training course to audit the Rules Course to gain a better understanding of the rules in cheer and/or dance. There is an additional fee for the cheer rules course (refer to the General Schedule link above for registration fees and deadlines).

All registrations will be done ONLINE.
