Mission Statement

Opportunities for young men to continue gymnastics at the collegiate level are dwindling across the US. Many large universities with strong academic programs have cut their programs over the last few decades.  Wisconsin lost their collegiate men’s team in the 1990’s. Students within UW-Madison created a club sports team that was recognized by the university in 2014, but this has not filled the void of high-level competitive college men’s gymnastics.

The Wisconsin Men’s Gymnastics Alliance will build on the work of the sport club, supporters across Wisconsin, and the rising GymACT movement to bring competitive men’s collegiate gymnastics back to Wisconsin.  Our aim is to provide more young men with the opportunity to continue their gymnastics careers in college and write a new chapter in the history of Wisconsin gymnastics.

Vision

To bring collegiate men’s gymnastics back to Wisconsin and provide the opportunity for boys to continue their gymnastics careers at the collegiate level.

Our Purpose

• To provide a competitive collegiate men’s gymnastics team in Wisconsin
• To show boys at the JO level that there are options to continue their careers in college
• To grow gymnastics in Wisconsin and represent the state at the national level
• To provide boys with the opportunity to compete collegiately and receive a world class education right here in Wisconsin
• To give boys the opportunity to have the collegiate athletic experience in a team atmosphere
