Intermediate Tumbling (ages 8 and up)
Students in Intermediate Tumbling refine their basic tumbling skills and increase their strength and flexibility. The round-off and back handspring are the cornerstones of tumbling and is a requirement of many cheer teams. One of the primary goals of Intermediate tumbling is to master the round-off back handspring. The round-off back handspring tuck is refined with a focus on developing a strong rebound. Conditioning emphasis is placed on shoulder flexibility, back flexibility, and leg strength, all needed for Advanced Tumbling. Students will be taught the back handspring back tuck in staged progressions, utilizing specialized equipment. Students will be spotted on the back handspring back tuck until both the student and the coach feels that a spot is not necessary.
