Tumbling & Trampoline Classes
All “T&T” classes will include skill instruction on floor, trampoline, and double mini trampoline. Each class level follows a curriculum that will teach athletes progressively to the next ability level. These classes are designed with the following in mind: to develop a well rounded athlete using all events to progress ability, to prepare them for our competitive program if they so desire, or to offer an option for upper level skill development without the requirement to compete.
Pre-School T&T (Ages 3-5), 55 min class:
This is an introduction to skills as well as an introduction to social interaction and class structure. We focus on following directions and socialization while we teach body control, coordination and fundamental tumbling skills such as rolls, cartwheels, and basic jumping technique on the trampolines including straddle & turning skills and beginning seat & doggy drops.
Beginner T&T (5-8), Jr. Beginner (4-6) 55 min class:

On Trampolines they will learn more advanced drops such as belly & back as well as learning how to put skills together to make a routine. We also begin to focus on progression and how one strong skill prepares them to learn the next.
Intermediate T&T (8-12), Jr. Intermediate (6-9) 55 min class:
Athletes will finish up technique on round-offs, master bridge kick-overs and learn front and back handsprings. They will also begin to learn flipping skills on trampoline such as front & back flips.
