Tumbling and trampoline build strength, power, courage, and confidence! We love the life skills our students learn through Tumbling & Trampoline!!


Tumbling & Trampoline: Ages 7 and Up

  • 45-minute classes, September-April & Summer Session

  • In-Club Competition in December and Skill Testing in April

Tumbling & Trampoline class is the ideal place for your gymnast to perfect their cartwheel, start to learn a flip, and experience their first in-house competitions. This class combines the basic skill progressions of tumbling with the exciting aspects of the trampoline. Routines and skill accumulation are the focus of this class.

Pre-Qualifications: Excellent listening skills and a desire to learn gymnastics. Tumbling & Trampoline is for beginners up through kids who can do flips and handsprings. Classes are divided to groups and groups change throughout the year to offer a variety of skills for different learning needs as the year progresses:

  • Cartwheel & Handstand Level: Students will work to master basic skills, including cartwheels, round-offs, handstands, bridge-ups, and kick-overs. They will learn progressions through a basic front tuck flip.

  • Flips & Handsprings Level: Students will be placed in this level upon demonstrating a solid technique in the above-listed skills. This class curriculum is more advanced and begins working on skills such as back handsprings and front and back tucks.

Goals: Accomplishing gymnastics skills, improving technique, memorizing routines, progressing to higher skill levels, and persevering to achieve goals is the focus of this class!

December In-Club Competition: All students in our Tumbling & Trampoline program in our school year class will participate in our December in-club competition, Holli’s Holiday Hop. All students will learn routines to be evaluated by judges. Winterset Gymnastics uniform will be required for this event.

Spring Skill Achievement Testing: Testing will be done in April, including awards and incentives for skills and combinations introduced in the second 1/2 of the year, with a strong emphasis on technique being the building block for progression. Our students look forward to the challenge of accomplishing their set goals and the opportunity to celebrate their hard work!

Water bottle: please bring either a disposable water bottle or a water bottle with your child’s name labeled on it.
