Bay State All Star Cheer & Dance (BSCD) was founded in 2006 by Matthew Holdridge and Karen Anastasi. With a combined 25+ years of Cheer & Dance experience, Matt and Karen developed the BSCD program which continues to evolve today.

The BSCD philosophy involves coaching with positive reinforcement, combining structure, flexibility AND continuity to the program. We, at all times, remember that our members are talented athletes who need a sense of community and balance as well as skills, in order to allow them to develop and grow in their chosen sport.

The BSCD competition teams have been extremely successful at competitions, winning numerous National Championships as well as Grand Champions and specialty awards.  

The balance of “winning and losing” is an important aspect of coaching these spirited, highly competitive young athletes.  

All Star Cheerleading Teams are chosen by age and skills. BSCD is a proud member of the USASF organization and follows the following guidelines and only competes at USASF sanctioned events.

Divisions are divided by the member’s age as of August 31st.

Levels are divided by tumbling and stunting skills from levels 1 – 6.

Teams’ divisions and levels are determined by the members’ skills and ages to form the most successful teams possible and to showcase their abilities and talents.

Bay State All Star Cheer & Dance not only teaches members to enjoy physical fitness, but offers lifelong skills such as time management, organization, respect, teamwork, pride, commitment and self esteem…. Not to mention a lifetime of strong friendships and happy memories.
