Pre-school Classes

In the Pre-School gymnastics classes your child learns to adjust to a group situation with their peers.

Tumbling Classes

Tumbling classes are tumbling skill specific, only working on the floor. Students will utilize the Air Trak, TumblTrak and other mats designed to build overall body strength and confidence in learning new skills.  Repetitive progression is most important when learning tumble correctly. As students master skills, they will increase the level of difficulty to work toward skills needed for other activities, such as cheer or dance.  (all levels of tumbling are 1 hour, once a week)

Beginning Tumbling: The beginning level is designed for students who have never tumbled before. Here they will learn the basics of tumbling, which are important and will be used to master harder skills along the road.

Intermediate Tumbling: The intermediate level is designed for students who have mastered beginning tumbling skills. Here they will advance to harder skills such as learning a back handspring. **Must have a back walkover**

Advanced Tumbling: The advanced level is designed for students who have mastered a standing back handspring and/or round off back handspring. Here they will advance to back tuck(s), layouts and full twisting layouts in series and standing. Students in this class must master one skill completely before moving to a harder skill. Form is important when advancing in tumbling. **Must have a running round-off back handspring**
