Tumbling this week

We will start tumbling classes this Saturday.

The 3 levels are as follows:
9-10 am: advanced: Everyone with standing tucks or who have already been working on standing tucks should attend this class
10-11 am: Intermediate: Everyone who has both standing and round off handsprings by themselves but are not yet working on standing tucks should attend this class
11-12: Beginning: if you don't have both your standing and round off handspring by yourself then you should attend this class.

Classes will $5 per person please bring money to the class.
Tumbling is Mandatory and you will need to attend to avoid receiving an unexcused absence.

Please text Coach Anne if you have any questions.
