Tumbling basics

A first class for rolls, bridges and cartwheels, built from games, mats and a turn across the floor.

Students warm up with a game, practice a skill at each mat station and take a turn across the floor, one at a time, with a coach beside them. Nobody is asked to hurry a skill. Families of ages 5 to 7 wait on the bench in the front hall, which has a window onto the mat room.

  • Ages 5 to 7 and ages 8 to 11, in their own classes

  • 45 minutes for ages 5 to 7, 60 minutes for 8 and up

  • Classes of up to 6 for ages 5 to 7, and up to 8 for ages 8 to 11

  • The mat room

What a class is like

  1. 01

    Step 1: Hello and a game

    Students walk in, put their bags in the cubbies and start with a movement game that warms up the arms and legs.

  2. 02

    Step 2: Wrist and shoulder prep

    A few holds and rocks on the mats get hands and shoulders ready for the work.

  3. 03

    Step 3: Skill stations

    Two or three mats, each with one skill. A coach moves between them and spots the new one by hand.

  4. 04

    Step 4: Across the floor

    One at a time, students take a turn along the floor with the skill they are working on.

  5. 05

    Step 5: Cool-down

    A slow stretch, a look at what we did, and a wave to the grown-up at the door.

What to wear and bring

A fitted top with shorts or leggings, so a coach can see the shape of a skill.

  • On the mats

    Bare feet or grip socks work on the mats, and shoes stay in the hall.

  • Hair and jewelry

    Hair is tied back and off the face, and jewelry stays at home.

  • In the bag

    A water bottle with a closing lid. Nothing loose over the top: it rides up in a handstand.

Levels and your coach

  • Level

    Rolls and bridges, then Cartwheels

    Students begin in Rolls and bridges and move to Cartwheels when each roll is smooth and the bridge holds without a spot. There is no test and no timeline.
