About USA WildcatsThe 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 where we had almost 100 athletes. Our staff is whole-heartedly dedicated to making your experience an enjoyable and enriching one for both you and your child. Since starting with one cheerleading team in May 1997, we have grown to include 13 cheerleading teams. We are looking to make this year our all-around best yet. On behalf of the coaching staff and myself, I want you to know that 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:
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. If you chose to be a member of any one of our teams we feel confident that you will enjoy ever minute of it. Thank You and Cheers, Cheryl Thomes Owner and Director |

Along with the physical side of cheerleading we strive to build self-confidence, self-discipline, and self-esteem.
