During this clinic, we’ll focus on backwards movement in the form of back rolls, back extension rolls and back pike rolls. These are a very important fundamental tumbling skill for cheerleaders at all levels. Advanced tumblers will frequently use back rolls in many variations as a drill for back tucks, so this skill is something you want to perfect and you don’t want athletes to lose over the years!
Ages: 5 & Up.
Pre-requisites: None

First off, if you’re new to the area, welcome! We are a veteran-owned gym and we realize you don’t always get to pick when you’re moving. As a result, we offer opportunities to join our teams throughout the year.
Athletes without experience: For those who are new to cheerleading, we want to welcome you to our wonderful sport! Our half-year novice program is perfect for athletes without previous experience who are wanting to start later in the season. Our half-year season runs November to March and includes one local competition. We highly recommend also taking a tumbling class throughout your half-year season if you want to cheer competitively on a full-year team the following season. You can register for a half-year program by using the link provided in the packet. You can obtain the packet by providing your information on this page.
Athletes with previous experience: Depending on your previous experience and current skills, it’s possible for us to add you to a current team. As you already know, scoring gets a little tricky as does travel, but some teams still have openings. To join an elite team mid-season athletes would need very strong tumbling and stunting skills. Openings are available on most elite teams for athletes who can max out the skill level. For those who cannot max the level, it might still be possible to join a lower level team or prep team this season. Please call the gym to set up an appointment with our all star director so you can look at options!
Alternatively, our pre-team and full team for competitive tumbling is able to take athletes throughout the year. This is a wonderful option for those who are looking to strengthen their skills and enjoy a competitive atmosphere until team placements.
When are team placements?
Our annual team placements take place in May each year with skills clinics in April leading up to the clinic. We strongly recommend tumbling classes while you’re waiting for placements to begin. All athletes make a team, but prep and elite teams require some tumbling skills, and these can be obtained through our regular tumbling classes!
For additional questions, please set up a meeting with our all star director by calling the gym at 660-238-0577.
Recreational cheerleading is an 8-week session with an in-house performance at the end. Novice cheerleading runs August-March and will compete locally in Sedalia in November and March.
