Skills learned; handstand roll, back extension roll, limbers, walkovers, scissors. Forward limbers start from standing and stepping into a handstand to a bridge then standing up. Backwards limbers start standing going backwards to a bridge kicking over and landing with feet together. Walkovers are the same idea but with split legs.

Intermediate: Skills mastered; Beginner, Advanced Beginner, Sub Novice, and Novice skills. Skills learned; no handed somersaulting (somis). A somi is a forward or backward skill with no hands typically in a tuck, pike, or straight position. Whips (no handed back handsprings) are also learned at this level. These skills are then added to passes such as round off back handsprings with a back tuck, back pike, or back layout.
Our Ames location is located next to HY VEE West, just behind Wells
Fargo Bank. Our center is equipped with 45 feet of 2" padded spring
floor, 24 feet of dead mats, 2 low beams, and a 6' by 9' trampoline.
Students are taught the basic techniques and body positions to safely
execute each skill throughout the varying levels of tumbling. We
currently offer hourly recreational classes on Wednesday nights from
4:30-7:30 p.m. This location is great for 1st year tumblers as well
as older students with more specific learning goals; such as back
handsprings for cheerleading or drill team. We welcome new students
at any time throughout the year.
