In our Cheer Tumbling classes, athletes will work to develop their tumbling skills based on the USASF leveling system of proper progressions used in all star cheer. There is a strong focus on utilizing drills, shaping, and strength exercises to ensure athletes are learning the appropriate form necessary to achieve each skill safely.
These classes are offered on weeknights and are 30 minutes in length. You can enroll anytime, as long as there is an opening in the class. All registration is done in our Online Customer Portal.
Ages 3-5
Athletes ages 3-5 can enroll in Tiny Cheer Tumbling, which is designed for our youngest cheer athletes to start developing their strength and coordination to assist in their tumbling skills. Athletes will use drills and stations to learn the body shapes and fundamental movements required for tumbling. Basic level 1 skills will be taught, such as forward/backward rolls, handstands, cartwheels, table tops, and bridges/back bends (5 year olds only).
Ages 6 & up
Athletes age 6 & up are placed in a Cheer Tumbling class based on their skill level.
Athletes in Cheer Tumbling Basics will work to develop the core basic skills for tumbling, including forward roll, cartwheel, handstand, bridge, back bend, handstand to bridge, and beginning bridge kick overs.
