Tumbling
TUMBLING
At New Heights Gym our Tumbling skills are taught with PROGRESSION in mind.  With each tumbling skill a new skill can be added on to make a tumbling pass series.  For example, once you learn the correct Round-Off, you can then add the Round-Off Back Handspring, and then the Round-Off Back Handspring Back Tuck, etc.  Each skill is taught with easy transitions.  One of the main keys for good tumbling is Strength.  Our classes emphasize strength by rotating stations that involve various strength and skill exercises. 
Our Tumbling classes are divided into two groups:  Beginner/Intermediate and Intermediate/Advanced.  The Beginner/Intermediate Tumbling class teaches the correct technique for a Cartwheel, a Round-Off, and Standing Back Handspring, up to the Round-Off Back Handspring.  Once the Round-Off Back Handspring is mastered basically on your own, you then advance to the Intermediate/Advanced Tumbling class.   This class teaches from the Round-Off Back Handspring to the Running Round-Off Back Handspring, to the Round-Off Back Handspring Back Tuck to the Round-Off Back Handspring Layout, etc.    
 
The Tumbling Classes are designed for students age 8 - 18.  The Beginner/Intermediate Tumbling class is on Tuesday at 6:00 - 7:00.  The Intermediate/Advanced Tumbling class is on Thursday at 6:00 - 7:00.
