Recreational Tumbling Classes

 

AMP Athletics’ Tumble classes offer tumbling instruction for athletes of all ages and skill levels. Our classes run 60 minutes and consist of dynamic stretching, skills warm-up, conditioning, stations for standing, and running tumbling. Classes maintain an 8:1 ratio in order to allow every athlete to receive quality instruction from their coaches. The coaches at AMP Athletics’ are not only very well trained, they are required to maintain Concussion and CPR certifications as well as current training for tumbling levels they teach.

 

AMP Athletics' coaching staff implements new and improved tumbling techniques they have received through extensive staff training over this past year. Each cheer tumbling class is based on the USASF(the United States All Star Federation, for more information, visit their official website here.) leveling system. Students interested in tumbling and have no previous experience can do a no-risk trial class in Level 1: Tumbling Fundamentals. Any student enrolling that has experience in tumbling should schedule a free evaluation in order to be placed properly. Once the placement is determined, a no-risk trial can be set up as well!

 

If you are registering online, please remember that the final placement will be determined by our staff. If our staff determines the student has been placed inappropriately, the student will be placed into the appropriate class.
