Skill-Intensive Tumbling classes |
||
These classes provide students extra time to work on skills that often take a little longer to learn, are not in the normal progression of skills taught at UMDGC, or to allow tumblers at lower levels to try new skills. Progressions and drills will be used to provide an intense focus on the selected tumbling skill. Strength and flexibility related to the focused skill may also be covered during the class. Instruction: All tumbling classes will provide instruction exclusively on spring floor, foam strip, trampoline, TumblTrak, air floor, and/or AirTrak. Specific equipment will be dependent on the skill that is being worked, and the ability and needs of the tumblers. New or Returning Tumbler Evaluations: New participants or tumblers that have done classes or privates away from UMDGC are highly encouraged to be evaluated. Schedule an evaluation prior to registering - 610-731-0022 or frontdesk@umdgc.com. |

Emphasis will be on the correct body position on the takeoff, increasing power from the legs, and straight and fast arm swings. Standing open tucks and standing pikes will be covered on trampoline, tumbltrak, and air surfaces to increase the chances of completing a standing tuck on the floor.

Front walkovers, back walkovers, and variations of these skills, such as limbers and tick-tocks, will be covered in this class. Specific skills that each tumbler will do will be dependent on the skill and abilities of each tumbler individually.
