Tumbling Class for Young Children

Children love to play, jump and roll around. Parents who want to harness that energy will often enroll them in tumbling classes. Not only is tumbling a great outlet for unspent energy, but it is an excellent form of exercise for kids. Tumbling includes round-offs, twists, somersaults, handsprings, tucks, and dismounts. It also combines athleticism with beauty and grace to perform fun and complex routines.

In our classes, kids learn to control their body movements thus bringing short and long-term benefits. Most importantly they have fun. This sport develops core strength as it is needed to perform whole-body movements and then be able to stick landings. As a child learns to use large muscle groups to push themselves off the ground, they also learn to use all the senses to safely land upright again.

To keep everyone safe as they learn, we use different equipment to make sure kids are in a controlled environment so that they do not injure themselves. By learning spatial awareness and body control tumbling also improves balance, which is essential for nearly every other sport like football and soccer.

Having the parents involved in classes is another important part of the children’s development at tumbling. That’s why we promote parents to stay during class times and observe what our students are learning. We encourage both children and parents to be open and express their ideas to make HI-NRG a better place for kids to grow as athletes.
