Cheer Daily

You had the time of your lives over summer. It was idyllic. Long days, warm nights, tan skin and fairy lights. Your IG posts were fire. Then college came and you went off to different towns, football games, bonfire nights. He sent you a hoodie which you wear to bed- and to class when you sleep through your alarm. You send him love notes which get sent less often. Tests start, classes actually require attention and homework. Your social life on campus fills up the rest of your time. And suddenly it’s Thanksgiving and you’re both going to be back in your hometown.

Welcome to the Turkey Drop. Continue Reading

November 20, 2017

If shoes have soles, then they must have karma. Now before you laugh, just consider the religious lengths women go through to save a good pair of pumps.

These women were determined; nothing of the water variety was going to happen to their babies.

IASF Announces Official Competition Divisions and Scoring System

September 27, 2017

Memphis, TN – The International All Star Federation (IASF), the leading organization for international Club Cheer and Dance teams, has released its official list of competition divisions for the global All-Star community. The IASF also said it plans to release its new scoring system by October 15, 2017.

The IASF, formerly part of the US All Star Federation, became a separate entity in 2016 with the goal of providing common divisions and scoring for the international community. The newly developed competition divisions and scoring system are designed to promote consistency and growth across the globe. The new divisions, now available at www.IASFworlds.com, closely resemble current IASF Worlds divisions in team size and score sheet. Now event producers around the globe will have the opportunity to add these divisions to their existing competitions.

The new IASF Scoring System will serve as the standard for international All-Star competition and will allow developing countries more opportunities to enter the competitive field. The system is designed to encourage the incorporation of creativity and individual cultures into routine choreography.

“The International All Star Federation is dedicated to the worldwide expansion of our sport, and we believe the introduction of these new standards will provide the structure and consistency needed to open the door for more international competition worldwide,” Les Stella, IASF Secretary-General.

About the IASF

Starting in March of 2016, the IASF became a separate entity and will move forward on a global course. With the help of the global cheer and dance community, the IASF will help provide common ground for all countries involved in ALl Star programs.
