    How can some coaches not realize they are messing up a kid's tumbling?

    Someone please help me keep my sanity. I worked with 2 girls who developed really good round-off and were really close to standing back handsprings as well as round off back handsprings. They went to a tumbling camp at a near by cheer gym and now neither of them can tumble. One hurt her neck...

    Tumbling and Trampoline question

    DD competed at a big invitational in the spring that had several things going on at once and tumbling and trampline was set up right next to her meet. She was amazed and totally in awe. I had never seen this sport live either and it was really amazing. Her gym does not have T&T and I told her...

    Tumbling lines!

    Are you allowed to compete a roundoff-straddle jump-front tuck as a tumbling line? I'm in Canada, but my level is comparable to American level 5 or 6. Thanks!

    Training tumbling, use of mats/tumbletrak/other training aids

    Bit of a spinoff from another thread: when teaching lower-level tumbling (ie anything between a forward roll and a backhandspring), to what extent do you use training aids such as wedge mats, tumbletrak, barrels, etc? With kids small enough to be spotted, I'm finding more and more that I...

    Use of trampoline or tumble track for teaching back hand springs good or bad?

    I am trying to get other people thoughts on this issue. It has been bothering me for a while. Do you feel it is useful to use a tumble track or trampoline as the first place to learn a back hand spring? I am talking about older kids/teens/adults that do not do any other type of gymnastics...

    tumbling classes?

    Hello, My dd needs her robhs to move to level 4. I was wondering if a tumbling class would help with this skill? Right now it doesn't seem that they are working on the skill very much and none of the current L3's have this skill. Are tumbling classes more for cheerleaders? Would it be a...

    Tumble Traks and pre assembled spring floors

    Hi all, I am in the marketing for a spring floor and a tumble trak and need some opinions... For those of you who own or coach at a gym w/ a tumble trak, what size is it? I want to go with a thirty footer but do you find it to be too small? Is 40 ft the way to go? I am also interested...
