New Skills
If your athlete is taking any class involving tumbling, there is some important information you should know.
​
-
There is a proper progression for learning tumbling skills.
-
Strength, flexibility and technique must be gained in order for a skill to be completely achieved.
-
If athletes progress too quickly from one tumbling skill to the next, their muscles and technique may not be ready yet.
-
It is very important that skills are learned safely and properly.
