Advanced tumbling for cheerleaders, dancers and gymnasts
Ages 12 and up. Goal driven tumbling and conditioning, with drills tailored to each athlete after a coach interview.
Chasing the aerial salto you want for your beam routine? A round-off salto tuck, layout or full to put you at the top of your cheer program? Front and back walkovers for your dance acro? This is the class.
The program is customised to each athlete. At the start of every session your coach runs a goal setting interview, then builds drills and conditioning around what you are working toward.
It is popular with cheerleaders and dancers, and as cross training for other sports such as hockey and lacrosse.
Edmonton Acro competitive team athletes who meet the prerequisites may be permitted to take part with a minimum age exemption, subject to head coach approval.
