Welcome to the official site of the National Champions, "Bright Stars Athletics." Bright Stars Tumbling and Cheerleading Center began in 2000 in a small town of Bright, Indiana with a dream by Nancy Wernke and her family. Her daughter Kelsey is now not only the Gym Owner, but she is also the Program Director and head coach. She took over the program in 2013!
Bright Stars has brought home many national titles and has been a second home to hundreds of talented athletes.
Bright Stars Athletics is located in Lawrenceburg, Indiana and services a large area of athletes. Our students come from many different school districts such as Sunman Dearborn, Lawrenceburg, South Dearborn, Moores Hill, Harrison, Batesville, and Cincinnati schools. All coming together and becoming one big family.
​
Kelsey enjoys coaching young athletes in the sport of cheer as well as watching her two young daughters succeed in the sport. She hopes one day they will be coaches and possibly gym owners.
