This is the second level of Preschool Gymnastics for children who have leveled out of Preschool One, *recommendation from the coach is required*. This class will build on the skills learned in Preschool One with more focus on technique, form, and muscle control. Development of strength, balance, coordination and flexibility are built into every lesson. Please make sure that children are potty trained and out of diapers. Parents must stay in the lobby during the entire class for emergency or bathroom purposes.

Your child will develop coordination, strength, balance and confidence. Tumblers will learn the following skills: forward and backward rolls, straddle roll, lunge to handstand, cartwheel, bridges, splits and various jumps using tumbling equipment and our air trak.

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.

No matter your skill level, come join our co-ed tumbling class just for teenagers! Whether you are a beginner or a cheerleader interested in improving your advanced tumbling abilities, this class will provide all the areas needed to help! Teens will be grouped by ability.

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.

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.
