Novice Select
Offering a Novice division team is a great way to introduce new athletes to the performance-based All Star cheer world in a less-stressful environment. To help start your new Novice team, the USASF has created Novice SELECT, a set of tools to simplify the development of your Novice routine. Through Novice SELECT, coaches select the music, routine frameworks and skill sets that are appropriate for their Novice Level 1, 2 or 3 teams. These components are offered at no cost to help newer coaches and clubs put together routines that are evaluated among other Novice division teams at USASF-sanctioned competitions.

All Star Novice | Explore. Develop. Elevate.
All Star Novice is ideal for athletes who:
- Are ready to transition from FUNdamentals to team performances that are evaluated at events.
- Are new to All Star, or may be coming to an All Star program with some cheer experience, possibly from a recreational or youth program.
- Are focused on strengthening technique and performance skills to ready themselves for an All Star.
Use the skills sheets for levels 1, 2, and 3 as well as the video library to help train (or refresh existing coaches) in the rules and safety callouts for these foundation levels. Coach will see what grips, stances, load-ins, etc. are legal and safe for each skill.
