Trampoline and Tumbling Classes
At Southlake Gymnastics Academy, our Recreational Trampoline and Tumbling Program builds confidence, strength, and coordination through progressive classes for kindergarten-age children and up. This co-ed program focuses on developing foundational skills like rolls, cartwheels, and handstands, while introducing advanced techniques such as back handsprings, tucks, and flips.
Students will train on the trampoline, tumbling floor, and double mini-trampoline, learning proper technique and building aerial awareness in a fun, supportive environment. Led by certified coaches, classes are designed to keep kids active, engaged, and excited to learn.
Tumble 1: (Co-Ed)
The Tumble 1 class provides an opportunity for boys and girls, ages 5 and up, to learn beginning tumbling skills. No prior gymnastics experience is required to join! In this Tumble 1 class, students are introduced to skills on the floor, trampoline, and double mini.
On the floor, they will learn backward and forward rolls on an incline mat, cartwheels, bridges, and handstands. Trampoline rotations focus on building a strong foundation of skills with proper form to prepare gymnasts for more advanced levels. Gymnasts will practice tuck, pike, and straddle jumps; seat, doggy, front, and back drops; full and seat half turns; and arm circles.
Class Time: 55 Minutes
Tumble 2: (Co-Ed)
Our Tumble 2 class is the next step for gymnasts who have demonstrated proficiency in beginner skills on the floor, trampoline, and double mini. Tumble 2 builds on the skills learned in Tumble 1, challenging gymnasts to expand and perform them with greater independence (i.e., with minimal coach assistance).
On the floor, gymnasts will develop their cartwheels, bridges, and handstands further by practicing bridge kickovers and handstand snap downs. They will also learn new skills, including round-offs and back handsprings. On the trampoline, gymnasts will combine drops learned in Tumble 1—such as seat, front, and back drops—to challenge coordination and control. Additionally, gymnasts will start learning how to perform a front flip on the trampoline.
Class Time: 55 Minutes
Prerequisites: Completion of Tumble 1 OR a coach evaluation.
Tumble 3: (Co-Ed)
Our Tumble 3 class is the final recreational level before gymnasts can move up to our T&T pre-team! The focus of this class is to perfect skills learned in Tumble 1 and Tumble 2, while introducing new, more advanced skills to prepare gymnasts for pre-team.
On the floor, gymnasts will refine previously learned skills such as bridge kickovers and back handsprings. In this level, back handsprings will be performed with coach spotting but without the use of boulder mats. New skills include learning proper technique for front flips, back flips, and round-off back handspring connections.
On the trampoline, gymnasts will continue practicing and perfecting skills they’ve learned in previous levels. They will also begin practicing front tucks and back tucks with the assistance of a coach.
