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 provides young men from any background with the funding, coaching, and facilities to continue their gymnastics careers at the collegiate level. We aim to bring competitive men’s college-level gymnastics back to Wisconsin and keep the dream alive for devoted, hard-working athletes in our state who are pursuing vocational training. In turn, our team provides gymnastics coaching, mentorship, and new equipment to junior athletes in Wisconsin through our youth partnerships.

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 inspire boys at the JO level with options to continue their careers in college
• To grow gymnastics in Wisconsin and represent the state at the national level
• To give young men opportunities to experience the collegiate athletic experience in a team atmosphere while receiving a world–class education right here in Wisconsin
