ACSA Committees
Find out more about each of our volunteer committees and the work they do to support the Allstar Cheer and Dance industry in Australia.
ACSA is committed to being an inclusive and collaborative body, providing all interested and qualified stakeholders in the sport an opportunity to be involved in growing and developing our sport.
As part of the overall operations of the organisation, the ACSA committee framework is there to harness and direct volunteers from across the community (athletes, coaches, program managers and event producers) to be a part of the process of developing, reviewing and providing guidance on the sports foundations. See below for more information on each committee and their goals.

Technical Committee
The ACSA Technical committee is tasked with developing and reviewing all aspects of our sports technical documentation and policies relating to competitions. These include scorecards, rubrics, skill selection for each level, team sizes, divisions, event standards and more. The technical committee meets several times a year and is chaired by a national board member to ensure a strong connection to the organisations overall goals and strategic pillars in the decisions that it makes. Volunteers for the technical committee must display a depth of experience within the sport as part of their application for a 2 year term.
As of 2023, the Technical Committee has merged with the Education Committee – providing the cheer community with more streamlined and informed education opportunities!
