The USASF/IASF Worlds is the most prestigious tournament in the world for all-star athletes at the top levels. Cheer Athletics has won 26 USASF World Championships, 29 silvers, and 16 bronzes. This makes us the world champion cheer team. Cheer is a sport that uses dance and gymnastics skills to perform during short breaks in an athletic event. The USASF/IASF Worlds is an annual international competition where national cheer squads are selected to compete against each other based on their age group eligibility. Teams from different countries can have up to six members on them, three males and three females. There is no limit to how many times you can take part in this event so long as you do not reach the maximum number of participants on the day of the tournament. The first Worlds was held in 1984 in Los Angeles, California with only four teams participating. Since then, the number of teams has increased every year to the current level of more than 100. Countries such as Canada, Mexico, Germany, Brazil, Colombia, Japan, France, Russia, India, China, Australia, and Italy have cheer programs that train annually to come in second place at the Worlds. Only the United States has been able to win every single year since its creation!
