Level 2 team athletes are required to take a tumbling class until they have mastered the highest level skill of level 2 (a back handspring).  

Tumbling Classes

Tumbling Level 1:

Basics: Athletes will focus on the basics of tumbling including rolls, cartwheels, round offs and the first steps to a back walkover.
Advanced: Athletes will need to have already mastered the roll and cartwheel so are ready to work on round off's, back and front walkovers.
