To be a All-Star coach is it pretty much all on the job learning (I assume some have cheered in the past)? So really you don't need any type of training or certifications?

Any parent who is going to put their child in cheer should be looking for certified coaches.
No, but you should. Also (and I could be wrong so someone correct me if I am), I thought that if you attend Worlds as a coach, you had to be USASF certified.
I thought I remembered something along those lines. Thanks!You have to be credentialed to L5 in at least one area to get in the warmup room.
The Parent Action committee developed Cheer Parent 101 a few years ago. We find this very helpful to have available on your website or available in your gym office for parents to read. We can only provide information. Many will make poor decisions and when they finally do learn, they will go find the gyms that are credentialed.I agree with you 100% the only thing that stinks is that parents new to the sport don't necessarily know what it means to be certified or that it is even possible. I brought up at the Northeast USASF regional meeting last year that it would be nice to have something from them stating why parents want there kids being coaches by credentialed coaches. I would love to come up with one, but I'm not that creative. I can do the text, but it would look like a 3rd grader designed it. lol
Thank you! I will be sure to put this on my site, I might even attach it to our program handbook. Its definitely a start.The Parent Action committee developed Cheer Parent 101 a few years ago.

Required? Depends on by whom. But highly recommended that you get USASF certified (which requires written tests, hands on tests and experience) and AACCA certified.

I Coach an All Star team. I have taken the AACA Safety Certification. But I am not part of a Gym, just a small town team. We would love to at least try to qualify for U.S. Finals next year. Do I need to get my Levels certification to ne able to take my team to something like this? And can you do Level certification online? Thanks.
