The Cheerleading Worlds
The foremost competition for all-star cheerleading is the annual Cheerleading Worlds held at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Fla. The USASF hosted the first Cheerleading Worlds on Saturday, April 24, 2004. Only level 5 and 6 teams can qualify for the event by receiving a bid to attend from one of several qualifying competitions (Restricted level 5 divisions may not received a bid). US teams have won the vast majority of the medals, but an increasing number of strong teams from around the globe have come to compete in the event in recent years. This competition has grown in popularity and prestige since its beginning as a small competition in 2004. In 2007, over 100 teams from 15 different countries competed in the event. In 2009 over 30 countries participated. 2010 will host a new venue bringing the National Club Teams and International teams closer together than they ever have been before.

Famous quotes containing the word worlds:
“Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant? We should live in all the ages of the world in an hour; ay, in all the worlds of the ages. History, Poetry, Mythology!—I know of no reading of another’s experience so startling and informing as this would be.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
