Tumbling is the gymnastics element in all star cheerleading where athletes learn to move bodies in a series of shapes that create springs, twists, and rotations. Tumbling skills include but are not limited to: rolls, cartwheels, walkovers, handsprings, tucks and layouts. Athletes can choose from a variety of tumbling options offered at various times throughout the year.
Tumbling is an early-specialization element in gymnastics and cheerleading and as such requires additional training by qualified coaches. At Peak Elite Cheerleading, we set a standard of excellence within our tumbling instruction and have developed our classes around a badging system that successfully correlates to our all star cheerleading teams.
Tumbling training is mandatory for competitive all-star athletes (novice, prep and elite) on tumbling teams of all levels Sep – Dec each year. If you are required to take tumbling, or if you simply want to improve your tumbling, you may take a tumbling class or you may sign up for a block of semi private lessons.
Our tumbling classes run September through March or April and fees may be prorated due to missed classes for holidays and/or competitions. We strive for a 7:1 athlete to coach ratio for all tumbling classes.
1 hr tumbling classes are $69 per month + GST.
1.5 hr tumbling class is $99 per month + GST.
Cheerleading athletes in the competitive all-star programs pay monthly. Those not in one one of these cheer programs will pay the full fall or winter session fee (Sept-Dec or Jan-Mar)/Apr at registration. Athletes stay in the same class September-April unless a coach determines a change is needed.
We do our best to create a schedule based around when each team practices. For most teams there is an appropriate class right before or after the team’s cheer practice. We do not offer make-up lessons if an athlete misses a class.
Tumbling intensives are an excellent opportunity to focus on a specific skill from a badged level for 1.5 – 2 hrs through a series of circuits, conditioning and body shaping. Intensives are added to the schedule regularly and often include skills but are not limited to handstands, walkovers, back extension rolls, jumps, handsprings etc.
In addition to tumbling classes, we offer semi private tumbling lessons. These lessons are for up to two athletes with one coach for 28 minute blocks. We ensure that if two athletes are scheduled together that they are both working on similar skills. Semi private lessons allow coaches to give more personalized feedback and instruction. Generally, we use semi private lessons to supplement growth within tumbling classes and the badging system.
Semi-Private lesson fees are $32 + GST per 28 minute block per athlete with our yellow instructors (badges 1-4) and $37 + GST per 28 minute block with our peach instructors (badges 5 +) There is a 48 hour cancellation policy in effect for these lessons. If you cancel within 48 hours of the lesson and you are not able to find another athlete to take your spot, you will be charged for the lesson.
