Why choose us?

  • We can meet your child’s needs whether they view tumbling as a recreational activity or as a tool to build a good foundation for future cheerleading tryouts or competitive tumbling.

  • We teach using Progressions

    • We break skills down into their basic elements.  We then teach those elements and piece them together to teach the skill.

    • It makes it easier to teach children by giving them incremental skills they can better understand with short windows for success, encouraging them to continue challenging themselves for harder skills.

    • Further, it prepares the student more thoroughly, which ensures better preparedness for more advanced skills, and lessening the risk for injury (safety).

    • Lastly, it helps us to better identify incorrect performance, and correct it before it develops into a bad habit that increases danger to the athlete or hinders future skills work.

  • Our instructors are well trained in spotting techniques to ensure the safety of your child.

  • We use trampolines

    • Trampolines teach body and space awareness which is critical at all levels of tumbling.

    • Skills are introduced on the trampolines because it allows for increased air which gives a child more time to complete a skill.

    • Our in-ground trampoline allows for safe practice of skills because it is inset into the ground, there is not the fear of falling off the sides. 

    • Our Tumble Track is a 30 foot firm trampoline that allows a child to learn tumbling passes.

  • We have a loose foam pit

    • Our loose foam pit allows children to attempt skills without the fear of a hard landing surface.

    • We have spring floor into loose foam.

    • Our Tumble Track also has loose foam entry.

  • We have a spring floor system

    • The spring floor system allows a child to have extra air time in order to successfully complete skills.
