Beginning I:
Forward and backward rolls, basic jumps and locomotor skills are taught on tumbling. On trampoline, correct bouncing and stopping, seat drops, front drops, back drops, jumps in different positions, half and full turns are taught. On apparatus, students will learn beginning support and suspension positions, the different hand grips that are used, and some beginning mounts and dismounts as well as correct landing technique.
Beginning II:
Development of control and strength in the handstand position, power and technique in the cartwheel, dive rolls, development of flexibility needed for tumbling, and introduction of front and back handsprings. On bars, students will be introduced to beginning circling movements, casts, and technique for developing swing. On trampoline, the basic drops are refined and put in combinations; half and full twists are added to all of the basic skills.
Advanced Beginning:
Learning front and back handsprings is the main focus of the advanced beginning level. Headsprings and running dive rolls are also taught at this level. On bars, students are taught front and back hip circles, stride circles, beginning bar changes from low to high bar, and mini-routines. On trampoline, back handsprings & front somersaults are introduced and basic skills are refined and put into developmental routines.
Intermediate:
Refinement of back and front handsprings and connecting them in developmental series is the main focus of tumbling at this level. Front somersaults are introduced as well as aerial cartwheels. On trampoline, development of somersaults is most emphasized. On bars, students begin to learn kips, swing for advanced dismounts, and continue to build on the previously learned routines.
Advanced:
At this level it is important to individualize the instruction to allow each person to reach their own potential. Somersaults and competitive routines and combinations are taught on tumbling. On trampoline, somersaults in different positions and with twists are taught. Routines that could be used in competition on bars.
