About USA Wildcats

The USA Wildcats, established in 1997 as a senior team that practiced out of a gymnastic school in Watertown, CT. In 1999 a Junior team was added but as this sport was growing so was the USA Wildcats. 

We moved into our own Waterbury facility in 2003. Our staff is whole-heartedly dedicated to making your experience an enjoyable and enriching one for both you and your child.

We are dedicated to helping each cheerleader maximize their individual experience with the USA Wildcats. Over the years we have worked hard to create a close Wildcat family and even though we are a growing organization, we take the initiative to:
  • Get to know each individual cheerleader;
  • Help them set and achieve healthy, challenging goals;
  • Teach the value of commitment and teamwork; and 
  • Produce results that are indicative of the level of commitment our cheerleaders and coaches invest ​
USA Wildcats is a competitive, cutting edge program that has high expectations for all of our members. The coaching staff's mission is to offer the best technical training and most innovative choreography in the state of Connecticut. We teach kids to be exceptional cheerleaders, but most of all, we teach kids to be exceptional people. Focusing on teamwork, integrity and structured, safe workouts, USA Wildcats team members learn how to encourage one another while building self-confidence.
