Tumbling Level 1 - Foundation

This one-hour class familiarizes beginning students with introductory movement, body awareness, learning proper technique for beginning to invert, setting up safe foundations to do trampoline work and basic tumbling skills like levers into handstands, cartwheels, roundoffs, core conditioning, wrist placement and more. Athletes are trained to set up a solid foundation with good tumbling habits that translate into building confidence as skills become more challenging.

Tumbling Level 2 - Skill Development

This one-hour class is designed to progress to slightly more complex movement, skill independent of a spot and maintain quality form from the start. Building on the foundation of basic skills and terminology established in Level 1, each tumbler can now begin to incorporate more skill variety through drills and progressions. Refining technique, skill confidence, and building skill quality are the major focuses at this point. Athletes can expect to incorporate the addition of beginning to intermediate flips on trampoline or assisted drills with inverting, walkovers, setting up the basics to a back handspring, and introduction to combing elements.

Tumbling Level 3 - Intermediate

This one-hour invitational class involves increased difficulty in flips, introduces twists, combinations, and has students confident in their basic back handspring as a building block in order to tackle Level 3 skills. Tumblers are ready to work aerials, front tucks, handspring succession, and skills that require a higher level of strength, trust in their physicality, and air awareness.

Tumbling Level 4 - Advanced

This 90-minute invitational class is designed for experienced athletes, gymnasts, tumblers and cheerleaders who have already mastered intermediate skills and are ready to take their tumbling to the next level by tailoring specialty passes for each student’s unique talent, while still demanding physical precision, safety and performative awareness. This class harnesses each athlete’s strength, solid technique and natural interest in exploring rotations in the air to grow skillset. Tumblers will work on advanced elements such as back tucks, layouts, full-twisting layouts, Arabians, and specialty passes, while continuing to refine execution and body control of skills they have in their repertoire up to this level.

A Message From Our

Tumbling Manager

Welcome to our Tumbling Program at Discover Gymnastics​! 

My mission is for every child who walks through our doors to discover not only a love for sports, but also the confidence, character, and life lessons that come with them. Cheer and tumbling are about so much more than learning a new skill or perfecting a routine. They teach children how to work as a team, persevere through challenges, celebrate progress, and believe in themselves.

As a coach, one of the most rewarding parts of what I do is watching an athlete accomplish something they once believed they couldn’t. Seeing their confidence grow and watching them realize just how capable they are is what makes coaching so meaningful to me. I want every athlete to know that progress is worth celebrating, challenges are opportunities to grow, and they always have a team and coach cheering them on.

I strive to create an environment where every child feels safe, supported, encouraged, and proud to be themselves. Whether they are stepping onto the floor for the first time or working toward their next big skill, I want them to feel that they belong here.
Above all, my hope is that every child leaves Discover with more than new skills. I hope they leave with confidence in who they are, pride in what they have accomplished, and the courage to take what they have learned in the gym and carry it with them into every part of life.
