Tumbling
Call us at 925 516-6619 to sign up for classes.
Tumbling
Classes These
classes are for the gymnast or those involved in another sport who want to spend
time focusing on floor skills only. Tumblers
with little or no experience will begin in Level One, where they will learn the
basics such as forward and backward rolls, cartwheels and handstands.
Tumblers with experience will be evaluated and placed in the appropriate
level. As the tumbler progresses
through the program he/she will learn limbers, walkovers, handsprings, flips and
connection tumbling. We teach both
forward and backward tumbling throughout our program to ensure the student is a
strong, well-rounded tumbler. Tumbling
Levels Like our
all-around gymnastics classes, our tumbling program is taught in a progressive
manner. Each level has certain
skills, and flexibility and strength standards which must be mastered in order
to advance to the next level (see chart). Proper
progression takes time and every student is different.
Most students will not learn a back handspring in one session.
While certain skills come easy to some, others may have difficulty.
Our instructors treat every student as an individual and the focus will
be on each student’s personal accomplishments.
How
Many Classes Per Week? For
younger or beginning tumblers we recommend one class per week.
The decision to come two more times per week is very personal and we
recommend considering more than once per week only after your child has
expressed their desire for faster progress.
The instructors will be glad to discuss the merits of such a decision
should that time come. For the
older, more advanced tumblers, especially the cheer tumblers it becomes more
important for a twice per week training schedule, as learning the more difficult
tumbling skills takes longer. There
is a 20% discount for additional classes.
Make-Up
Classes Although
it is always best to attend your regularly scheduled class, we do allow two
make-ups per session, when arranged in advance. Please call the office to schedule a make-up, as we do limit
the number of make-ups in any class. Ages 6-11
Ages 12 and Up
Tuition Classes
are scheduled for an 8-week session. Each
session has an Early Payment Deadline two weeks before a new session begins in
order to reserve a current student’s spot in a class, as well as save $ 10.00.
After the EPD, spaces will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Current students who miss the EPD may still enroll if space
is available and pay the Regular Tuition. Early Payment Tuition (Paid before Early Payment Deadline)

$ 125.00 What to
Wear Appropriate
clothing is a leotard or shorts and a tucked in T-shirt.
Long hair must be pulled off the face and shoulders for safety, and no
