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:
“In the far South the sun of autumn is passing
Like Walt Whitman walking along a ruddy shore.
He is singing and chanting the things that are part of him,
The worlds that were and will be, death and day.
Nothing is final, he chants. No man shall see the end.
His beard is of fire and his staff is a leaping flame.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
