This program is for
anyone 5 years old and up interested in competing. The events
involved are: Tumbling, Trampoline and Double Mini. Competitions are
in the state of Iowa and surrounding states with the site of
nationals varying from year to year. USTA and AAU have 9 levels of
tumbling and trampoline competition. The head coach will determine
which level the student will be placed in to compete. If you are on
the tumbling team it is advisable to participate in another tumbling
or gymnastics class, here at UDSGC. Due to time constraints, team
practice is limited to working on routines and conditioning. An
additional class will allow ample gym time to work on needed skills.
To be involved in the program the student must purchase a USTA and
AAU membership.
