Tumbling

Build A Strong Foundation For An Active Life.

From 3 years and up, beginner to advanced, we have a class for everyone. Our tumbling & ninja classes provide a fun and safe environment to learn new skills while promoting fitness, self-esteem, and self-confidence.

Each class is leveled to allow for safe progression through all fundamental tumbling and gymnastics skills such as rolls, handstands, cartwheels, walkovers, handsprings, tucks, layouts and up to fulls.

 

In our recreational tumbling classes, the goal is to have fun and teach new skills. Our athletes are always encouraged to set personal goals and work with coaches and independently to achieve those goals. We perform monthly assessments and update parents regularly on their child’s progress. Our favourite time of the month is during our Skills Evaluation Clinics when athletes can test out of their current class by performing all necessary skills. Those who test out of the skills receive a certificate, public recognition and the opportunity to select their next class.
