Best Cheer Gyms in Wisconsin
Wisconsin's top all-star cheer programs, ranked by 2025-26 banners and podium finishes.
The best cheer gyms in Wisconsin are spread across the whole state, from Kimberly and Green Bay in the northeast to Kenosha, Madison, and the Milwaukee suburbs in the south. Eight Wisconsin gyms earned a spot in this season's rankings, which are built entirely from real 2025-26 season results: banners count first-place finishes in finals, and podiums count top-3 placements.
WIDC of Kimberly leads the state with 32 banners, but the race behind it is tight: Wisconsin Elite (31) and Northern Extreme Athletics (30) each finished within two banners of the top spot. All-star cheer in Wisconsin runs deep in the mid-size program range, with most ranked gyms fielding 8 to 17 teams.

The Top 8 Cheer Gyms in Wisconsin
1. WIDC
WIDC of Kimberly finished the 2025-26 season as the top-ranked gym in Wisconsin, collecting 32 banners and 50 podium finishes. The program fields 9 teams and covers the widest level range in the state's rankings, from Level 1 through Level 5. That combination of breadth and win rate is what separates it from the two gyms chasing it by a single banner or two.
2. Wisconsin Elite
Just one banner back of first place, Wisconsin Elite of Kenosha posted 31 banners and 56 podium finishes across its 8 teams this season. The program competes from Level 1 through Level 4 and holds 1 all-time NCA title in our database. Its podium total actually tops the state's number one gym, a sign of how consistently its teams reached finals contention in 2025-26.
3. Northern Extreme Athletics
Northern Extreme Athletics gives Wausau a program that can trade blows with the southern Wisconsin gyms: 30 banners and a state-best 57 podiums in the 2025-26 season. Its 8 teams span Level 1 through Level 4. Third in banners but first in total podium finishes, it was arguably the most consistent gym in the state this year.
4. Rockstar Athletics
With 10 teams competing from Level 1 through Level 4, Rockstar Athletics of Franklin turned in 27 banners and 55 podium finishes in 2025-26. The roster includes several specialty divisions within that range, giving the program one of the more varied level lineups among Wisconsin's ranked gyms. That depth translated to a fourth-place finish in the state standings.
5. Element Athletics MKE
Element Athletics MKE, based in New Berlin, ranked fifth in Wisconsin this season with 22 banners and 53 podiums. It fields 11 teams and is one of only two ranked gyms in the state competing up to Level 5. Its podium count sits within a few placements of the gyms ranked above it, so the gap is narrower than the banner totals suggest.
6. Fury Athletics of Madison
No ranked gym in Wisconsin fields more teams than Fury Athletics of Madison, which put 17 teams on the floor across Level 1 through Level 4 in 2025-26. The program earned 12 banners and 35 podium finishes, good for sixth in the state. That roster size makes it the largest all-star program in these rankings by team count.
7. Fusion Athletics Green Bay
Fusion Athletics Green Bay runs a tighter program: 5 teams competing at Levels 1 and 2. It converted that smaller footprint into 11 banners and 12 podiums this season, meaning nearly every top-3 finish the gym earned was a win. It ranks seventh in Wisconsin for 2025-26.
8. The Stingray Allstars Wisconsin
The Stingray Allstars Wisconsin, located in Sussex, ranked eighth in the state with a single team competing at Level 4.2. That one roster still produced 6 banners and 8 podium finishes in 2025-26, and the program holds 1 all-time NCA title in our database. On a per-team basis, few gyms in the state won more.

How These Rankings Work
FullOut ranks Wisconsin cheer gyms using real competition results, not reputation or reviews. A banner is a first-place finish in a finals round. A podium is a top-three finish. Every banner and podium earned by a gym's teams counts toward its ranking: banners order the list, and podiums break ties.
These rankings cover All Star Cheer divisions (Levels 1 through 7) during the 2025-26 season, which runs July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. Results come from publicly available scoresheets and live results in FullOut's competition database, which tracks thousands of events across the country.
A gym's ranking reflects how often its teams won, not how big the program is. Team counts and levels are shown for context.
