Local school and recreational cheer programs are invited to contact Dave Evasew (devasew@umdgc.com) to check availability of discounted group rates. Those that are learning back handsprings and roundoff back handsprings will practice mostly on the spring floor, trampolines, and tumbltrak to provide a more forgiving surface. For tumblers working on more advanced tumbling skills, tumbltrak and spring floor will be used to learn these new skills prior to be taken to the hard/dead floor to master these skills.
- Levels & Groups: If the cheerleading staff does not provide the UMDGC tumbling staff with preferred groupings, UMDGC will evaluate the cheerleader’s actual skill level at the first class using known UMDGC Tumbling levels or a quick evaluation of essential skills. If you prefer a more in-depth evaluation, schedule an evaluation prior to the start of the classes. Requests to be grouped with friends cannot be guaranteed.
- Credits for Missed Classes: Because the fee is discounted heavily already, there are no credits for missed classes.
- Attire & Shoes: Leotard, t-shirt, sports bra, athletic shorts, or sweatpants with elastic waistband or drawstring. Bare feet, or clean and dry cheerleading shoes.
