    Parents private tumbling at a cheer gym? yes or no?

    My daughter is currently on preteam. There is a very reputable cheer gym near my house that offers private lessons -I've heard of kids coming from far and wide to take lessons there. I have heard that cheer tumbling is different from gymnastics and can cause bad habits but I'm torn because I'd...

    T&T Technical/stylistic differences between tumbling in gymnastics and TnT

    Are there significant technical or stylistic differences between power tumbling and the tumbling you would use in a floor routine? Routine construction aside, is a technically correct backhandspring/whipback/(insert skill here) the same in power tumbling as it is in artistic gymnastics? In...

    T&T Connections in USA level 2&3 tumbling passes

    We're in the process of turning our trampoline team into a full tramp and tumbling team, and I could use some clarification on how the connections in the lower-level passes are supposed to work. First, in the cartwheel-roundoff connections in levels 2 and 3, how exactly is the entry into the...

    WAG L7 Floor -- 2 tumbling passes or 3?

    My DD is competing L7 and her floor routine has 3 tumbling passes (FHS-FT, FHS-FP, RO-BHS-LO). I seen other routines at our meets with only 2 passes, so I'm curious what the coaches on the board think. On the one hand...it offers more opportunities for deductions. On the other hand...I don't...

    Coaches Tumbling blocks

    i have a gymnast who had quite a serious injury last year, it has fully heal now but aches sometimes, anyway the point of the thread is that she now is having big mental blocks when tumbling and i think its because she still thinks 'what if it happens again' in the back of her mind, i have...

    "Let's Get Ready to Tumble"-what do you reckon?

    Yea or nay? As in the BBC's answer to Splash!- celebrities doing gymnastics. Beth and Louis are reportedly signed up. I can't really see how it'll work, unless they have a gymnastics, or possibly dance, background, even simple stuff like a cartwheel will be tricky. What about the more mature...

    T&T Uk Tumbling

    My oldest dd has recently started tumbling in the UK. They are talking about entering her into a competition in a few weeks but I know absolutely nothing about tumbling and the structure here in the UK. She says she is being entered into level 2 - any ideas?

    WAG Bicep pain when doing pull-ups and tumbling - since 2 years!

    I did Acrobatics/Tumbling for a long time, but started with gymnastics a little later. I am doing really fine, I am quite strong (50 push-ups, 20 hanging leg raises, press handstands etc) but I always get severe problems with my biceps. It usually starts when doing pull-ups or when I work on...

    Coaches Jump, Bounce, Punch (tumbling)

    While I was looking at various threads on tumbling, something hit me. I actually had an interesting thought (strange I know) I have decided to try something a little different when coaching my tumblers. For tumbling, I see 3 ways for the kids to leave their feet. (not including the hurdle) 1...

    WAG Gymnastics to tumbling?

    So I recently just transferred to a new gym because my school is located right next to it and kids that want to take classes get discounts. But they recently decided to cancel that. Now i have to go back to my old gym. Im not sure if i want to do gymnastics at my old gym because i didn't like...

    WAG Drills for more powerful tumbling

    So I am an xcel gold gymnast and my two tumbling passes are round-off back handspring and front tuck. These don't fit the requirements for floor but I am a horrible tumbler so my coach allows me to compete because I have the requirements for all other events. I used to be able to do these passes...

    Coaches Number of level 8 tumbling passes

    I'm looking for input on how many tumbling passes you require in a level 8 floor routine? Your reasoning for it would really help me out. Im thinking less is better. First pass: rf ff full and second pass: front handspring, front pike, front tuck. What are the pro's and con's of two passes...

    Parents What are the diffrent tumbling passes called ?

    My daughter did two years of All Star Cheer, due to drama (if you thought Cheer Perfection was bad -LOL-) and the last year being just to much I pulled her to just tumble so she could slow down and progress at her own pace. Unfortunilty the new cheer coach saw no reason to cont. her tumbling if...

    WAG Tumbling too fast?

    Okay first I will say if this similar post comes up again is because I tried to post from my ipad but it didn't seem to go through. So my apologies if this is a duplicate. So dd was doing a roundoff, 3 whips, 3 back handsprings then a full (I'm not sure what that is). I am wondering if there is...

    Parents Tumbling Mat?

    I know everyone says to keep the gym at the gym - and I agree. But my dd especially is practicing handstands and such everywhere (not just at home, grocery store, library, it drives me nuts!)! And I fear it is going to get worse! I was thinking about investing in a basic mat to have in the...

    All star cheer or team tumbling

    Currently, I tumble two days a week, and am working multiple rbhs to tuck. The gym I go to offers team tumbling and owns a separate cheer gym. My madre says I have to choose between the two (sigh) Team is 3 days a week total 41/2 hrs The coaches teach better technique Comps are closer to my...

    Parents Tumbling - Switching from cheer to gymnastics & how far do you drive to get to your gym? What's more

    DD (I have no idea what abbreviations you use on this board). Has done two years of All-Star cheer (2nd & 3rd grade). We did not sign her up for All-Star this year, so that she could relax and move at her own pace, continue with tumbling classes. Well, coach ended up getting upset with her...

    WAG Tumbling Control

    My DD is a L4 (old L5) gymnast who has amazing speed and power in just about everything she does, but she has a BIG problem controlling everything. For example, she is the smallest kid on her team (she's 9, not the youngest, but the shortest) but she vaults over the table at 3 and scores well...
