Tumbling
for School
Sparks - 55 minute Class
The Sparks class is the introductory course in our tumbling program. Students with little or no tumbling experience will find this class challenging and enjoyable while being introduced to forward, backward and sideways flipping skills like rolls, handstands, bridge's and cartwheels. Students will also receive their first instruction towards the infamous back handspring while being encouraged to develop a strong foundation in personal health and fitness to combat the rising obesity epidemic.
Chargers - 55 minute Class
In our Chargers class students will utilize a variety of drills to promote proficiency approaching mastery of skills learned in the Sparks class. As students' abilities progress they will be challenged to perform old skills in new and exciting ways. They will continue to refine their rolls and handstands while being introduced to 1 arm skills (cartwheels and round offs) and will even begin work on no-arm skills (back, front and side salto's). But that is not all. In addition to a foundation in basic tumbling students will also participate in a number of exercises designed to increase muscular strength and endurance. Our friendly and enthusiastic staff are trained to encourage quality technique over vast quantity of repetitions to ensure that the students continue to enjoy the activities. Finally students will have the opportunity to work on many of our trampolines with drills designed to increase perception and spatial awareness while having a lot of FUN!
Lightning - 55 minute Class
