Beginning Tumbling is a fast-paced class that develops coordination, strength, flexibility, balance and self-confidence. Beginning Tumbling is for children that are new to tumbling. Good form and positions will be learned at this level. Beginning tumblers will learn the following skills: forward and backward tuck and straddle rolls, lunge to handstand, cartwheel and round offs.

Intermediate Tumbling will provide new challenges for our students once they have mastered the basics and encourage them to advance beyond beginning tumbling. Tumbling skills introduced will include handstand forward rolls, round offs, back walkovers, back handspring shaping drills, and back handsprings. Classes are taught in a fun yet focused manner, encouraging students to achieve higher-level skills. Coaches’ recommendation is required.

Advanced Tumbling will provide new challenges for our participants once they have mastered the basics and encourage them to advance beyond intermediate tumbling. Participants will continue to increase strength, flexibility, and body control. Tumbling skills will include round off back handsprings, front handsprings, back tuck, front tucks, and more. Coaches’ recommendations are required.

Is your child close to moving up but her bars are preventing her from doing that? This class will focus on the conditioning, drills and additional bar time that some gymnasts need to move to that next level. For Developmental 1-4 gymnasts and team gymnasts.

This new class is for adults who want to try something new or former gymnasts who want to challenge themselves. Improve your strength, flexibility, body awareness and master some fundamental gymnastics tumbling skills.

This class will be a transition from the developmental program to team gymnastics. The gymnasts will learn AAU level 1 and 2 skills as they develop strength, flexibility, team spirit and sportsmanship. Invitation to Pre-Team is required.
