Beginner Classes Ages 6-13 years

Once a week for 1 hour per session. The classes are designed to help each child develop all the basic fundamental movement skills as well as specific skills for tumbling and trampoline work.  Each child is encouraged to progress through the skills and drills at their own pace.  Children work through a colour level curriculum. Each level takes about 1 year to master but individual children may take longer or shorter depending on their ability as well as the amount of time they practice! When they have mastered all the skills they are ready to move up to the next level.  A teacher will inform you when your child is ready to move up and do a Grading. Children are graded on our Grading Award System enabling them to “pass” into the next level.

In addition to the FUNDAMENTAL tumbling skills, children also improve their flexibility, strength, speed, agility and fitness and they learn basic parkour as well as movement to music.

Intermediate Classes Ages 6-13 years.

Twice a week – 2 x One Hour Sessions Children come twice per week for a hour at a time (by choice).The skills and body conditioning becomes more complex, combining various fundamentals.

Students usually stay in a level anywhere from a year to two years- but of course this can vary depending on ability and amount of practice!
