I never said it would be easy.......

Well you all know that saying" I never said it would be easy I only said it would be worth it" that's my MOTTO for this building project. We have had problems after problems and well frankly I was about to give up... But because of all your interest and calls about when class was going to start I realized that it is going to be so worth it. SO i happy to say I didn't quit and I was able work through all the problems and put the down payment on the metal building this week. WAHOOO{{Screaming}}.... Unfortunately, because of the delay in order the building It wont be delivered until the first of March{{Tear}}. I am planning for an open house the last week in March and class to begin first of April.

I know you where hoping that class would begin sooner and I am truley sorry. I would rent a building if there was something adequet but there's not so please please please be patient with me because it is going to be so so so worth it.

Why Power Tumbling?

Many people never consider gymnastics when looking for a recreational activity for their children. Here are some reasons why you should:

1.Gymnastics is the only sport that works total body strength, flexibility, coordination, and aerobic development. Gymnastics enhances gross motor skills.
2.Self-discipline is developed due to the very nature of the sport.
3.Self-confidence is built through individualized goals and accomplishments, and by positive influences and encouragement from coaches.
4.Unlike any other sport, gymnastics is a unique way of developing strength and giving athletes that added edge, no matter what sport or activity they may try.
5.Early training results in increased kinesthetic awareness--balance, coordination, thinking skills, etc.
6.A NASA study showed that gymnasts have highly developed vestibular mechanisms which increase general learning, (academic as well as physical), memory, etc.
Gymnastics, above all else, is fun!

What is Power Tumbling?

Power tumbling is a gymnastics sport which combines the skills of artistic gymnastics on the floor and those of trampolining.
When Power Tumbling was first started, and for the first ever US National Championships in Tumbling in 1886, gymnasts would perform their skills only on thin mats. From there, "floors" evolved in a wide variety of ways, including rows of skis tied together with the ends cut off under those mats, and then to the floor used today, developed by Randy Mulkey, which is an 85 feet (26 m) long by 5-foot (1.5 m) wide track consisting of fiber-glass rods (laid horizontally, to make it springy) under two layers of foam mats[1]. At the end is a mat where the gymnast lands their dismounting skill.
Competitors perform two passes, each containing 8 skills along the track, usually starting with a Roundoff, Barani, or Rudi (all forward, twisting flips) followed by a series of back-handsprings and whips (a fast, long backflip done in a straight body position) ending in a 'dismount' skill. In the lower levels, there are rules about what each pass should contain. At more advanced levels there is a choice about the skills performed. This includes adding much more difficulty to the passes by adding twisting whips (called single, double or triple fulls) in the middle of the pass. The dismounting skill is often another double or triple full or a double or triple backflip, which can also include extra twists. Internationally, competitors frequently have 3 double somersaults incorporated in to each pass. All athletes in this sport at high levels are expected to have a finals pass as well as their other two passes. While not used at every meet, it is important to have three passes.
Power tumbling is controlled internationally by FIG in combination with trampolining. Major organizations for power tumbling in the United States include USAG and USTA.
