Our recreational tumbling classes are skill based and our preschool program is age based. Descriptions of each class may be found on our classes page. For information of our preschool program click here.
What should my child wear?
Boys should wear a pair of gym shorts and a t-shirt. Clothing with buckles, belts, snaps, zippers, or hooks are not allowed. Girls may either wear a leotard or a pair of gym shorts and a t-shirt. Post earrings are allowed, but all other jewelry must be removed and placed in a cubby or locker. Hair should be pulled back into a ponytail. TUMBLING students may wear cheer shoes if they are worn inside only, socks may be purchased in the gym if desired. All TRAMPOLINE students should wear socks. Gum is not allowed.
What will my child do in class?
All of our classes begin with a warm up activity. The first part of the class will be devoted to additional warmup activities building up to the skills they are working on. The remaining class time is devoted to the skills that the class is designed to teach. You should see stations set up for the lower level classes (beginner and back handspring) to help students perfect the skills using a variety of drills - our coaches may also spot however that is not teaching the muscle memory needed for tumbling. Many people unfamiliar with tumbling instruction don't understand that the repetitive drills are what gives the body the muscle memory to do the skill. That is why you see so many stations with jump back sort of skills being performed by the student onto a landing mat or against the wall - those are ways to build the muscle memory needed to tumble.
How does my child move up to the next level?
We track skills during class. When your child has mastered all of the skills in their current class, your instructor will notify you that it is time to move your child up. You can view your child's progress for Beginner, Back Handspring and Trampoline classes by logging into the parent's portal - use the password we have on file for you.
Where can I purchase a mat for my child to use at home?
We have partnered with Norbert's Athletic Products for those of you who are interested in purchasing mats or other equipment for home use.
