Recreational Tumbling
|
Tumbling is a dynamic form of acrobatic gymnastics where athletes perform flips, rolls, jumps, and other aerial movements on the floor or mat. It emphasizes the development of strength, flexibility, coordination, and balance. It’s a fun and exciting way to enhance physical fitness and body control while mastering new skills.
Our coed Recreational Tumbling Classes are designed for athletes of all ages and abilities, from beginners to advanced students working on complex tricks. With levels ranging from 1 to 9, the program offers a structured path for athletes to progress at their own pace. Each level is thoughtfully designed to build on foundational tumbling techniques, ensuring students gain the skills they need to move forward confidently. To keep athletes motivated and connected to their progress, each level features a unique leotard uniform, representing both their accomplishments and commitment to the program. Whether your child is interested in having fun, staying active, or advancing their tumbling skills, our classes provide a supportive, positive environment to help them succeed. The tumbling skills for each level are outlined below. Please call 785-380-7827 or email [email protected] to schedule a level test today.
