Tumbling



The POWERHOUSE Training Center’s tumbling classes follow the USASF level guidelines. This creates a clearly specified set of skills you know your child is working on, in whichever class he/she is enrolled. When a student has mastered all tumbling skills in one level, our instructors move them to the next level and into the next class.
