Cartwheels in the living room? Handstands against every wall? Your child might be ready for tumbling classes. Here's what tumbling builds, and why it's a great foundation for almost any sport.
Strength and flexibility
Tumbling builds strength in the core, arms and legs while improving flexibility. Kids get stronger using their own body weight, in a way that's safe for growing bodies.
Body awareness and coordination
Rolling, flipping and landing teach kids where their bodies are in space. That body awareness improves balance and coordination and helps kids fall safely, on the mat and off it.
Confidence
There's nothing like the moment a child lands a skill they've been working toward for weeks. Tumbling breaks big skills into small steps, so kids feel progress every class.
A foundation for other sports
Cheerleading, gymnastics, dance, diving, martial arts and team sports all benefit from the strength, flexibility and body control tumbling builds. Many athletes who start in tumbling go on to cheer.
Focus and discipline
Learning a new skill means listening to coaches, practicing the basics and being patient. Those habits carry into school and everything else kids do.
Safe, structured progress
In a good tumbling program, coaches teach skills in the right order with proper spotting and equipment. At P3 Sportsplex, tumbling classes are grouped by school grade and skill, from preschool to 8th grade, so every athlete is challenged without being rushed.
