Our tumbling program is great way to help kids learn or master their tumbling skills. Whether they want to learn how to do their cartwheel, back handspring, or even more advanced skills, we have classes for all ages and abilities.
Our beginning tumbling class is for students with little or no experience in tumbling. The goal of this class is to set the foundation for all other sports when it comes to coordination, body awareness and of course tumbling. Students will learn their cartwheel, round off, forward and backward rolls, back bend, and tick-tock and lots of other beginner level tumbling skills are mastered in this class.

Skills needed to move up:
This class will focus on the start of the back handpring through doing it by yourself on the trampolines in the gym. You will see a variety of build up stations set up to develop the muscle memory necessary to do the back handsprings. Back handsprings require 4-5 different parts that students will work through in order to eventually do it by themselves.

This 55 minute class is held in our Big Gyms and is a transitional class from our preschool program. The Owl class is limited to students only in kindergarten or younger. The class size is also smaller to allow more one-on-one time. This class is a mixture of an stations, obstacle courses, gymnastic motor skills, and body shapes. Students will master the basic skills like rolls, handstands, cartwheels, round-offs, backbends and tick-tocks. Your little owl will graduate this class and move to our tumbling program when the graduate kindergarten.
Sometimes we are approached to run special classes for a cheer squad, school, or other fun/special event. If you you have an idea or need please contact us and we will see what we can do!
