Beginner Tumbling

Electric Avenue’s Beginner Tumbling classes are perfect for the aspiring tumbler who needs to learn, develop and perfect fundamental tumbling skills such as handstands, bridges, rolls, cartwheels, walkovers and the ever important round-off. Students will also learn the basics of a back-handspring.

The primary goal of our beginner tumbling class is to properly prepare each tumbler for running tumbling passes which require a strong and efficient round-off and to develop the necessary skills for flipping.Tumblers should expect to train in a beginner class until their handstands are stable, their round-offs are clean and powerful, they can execute a back and front walkover, and they can cleanly execute a back-handspring with a spot and over a rolling mat.

Our tumbling program is a progressive, multi-class structure designed to build on existing skills and grow tumblers in a positive teaching environment. Our coaching staff consists of elite level, USA Gymnastics credentialed coaches who teach in a positive, safe and encouraging fashion that provides each athlete with the knowledge and skills needed to progress in all aspects of Cheer, Acrobatics & Tumbling and Power Tumbling. Classes are divided by age where Beginner Tumbling 1 is for younger tumblers and Beginner Tumbling 2 is for older tumblers.

As with all of our programs, a child’s progression is determined by their own pace. Once they reach these milestones, tumblers will be ready to advance to a back-handspring class or an intermediate tumbling class.

Handspring | Intermediate

Electric Avenue’s Handspring and Intermediate Tumbling Classes are for those athletes who have mastered their fundamental tumbling skills such as handstands, cartwheels, walkovers, round-offs and can execute a standing and running back-handspring without a spot and are ready to begin learning handspring series, and back and front tuck flips.  These classes are perfect for those students who want to clean up and strengthen their back-handsprings and running handspring series.

 Intermediate classes will also begin to introduce alternate tumbling moves such as walk-overs, flips and rolls to standard round-off back-handspring passes.

 Once students have fully mastered their series of back-handsprings without a spot and have a solid grasp of back tucks they will be advanced to a Tucks & More Class.

Tucks & More Advanced Tumbling

Electric Avenue’s Tucks & More Advanced Tumbling Classes are for the most accomplished Tumblers who have mastered skills in the Handspring Class. At this level we work on free-flipping skills and the various body positions like tucks, pikes and straight.

Tuck skills include Back Tuck, Back Pike, Back Layout, Front Tuck, Front Pike and Standing Back Tuck.

Drills and skills learned at this level allow for progression into adding twists. As you progress, we will introduce twists in 180 degree increments as you work towards a full and double.

Skills we work on at this level are Back 1/2, Back Full, Back 1-1/2, Back Double Full, Front Full and Front Double Full.

Ninja Center

We are pleased to have one of the best Ninja Centers in Austin. Our program embodies discipline, focused energy, and skill to develop children for life. Our program, which is developmentally geared for both boys and girls ages 2 to 18, combines coordination from Gymnastics, strength and agility from obstacle training and creativity from freestyle movement. A child’s progression is determined by their own pace, handing them the tools to shape their own experience. By letting children advance individually, within a defined and collaborative program, children of all ages and genders receive more than athletic gifts. They’re strong, confident kids.

Ninja Rig

For older kids and teens, our Ninja Rig features more than 30 challenging obstacles elevated 6-10’ above the surface for realistic Ninja Warrior obstacle course training. Led by coaches, who are themselves competitive ninja warriors, you will learn skills and techniques for not only conquering this challenging rig, but also how to master specific rolls, jumps and freestyle movements unique to parkour.

Hosted by certified Ninja Instructors, our Ninja Open Gyms are specifically tailored for kids 8 through teens and are open to both boys and girls.

Competitive Acro is a combination of Gymnastics, Cheer and Floor Routines that involves Tumbling, Toss, Acrobatic Lifts and Pyramids. Acro Teams compete in six events including – Compulsories, Acro, Pyramid, Toss, Tumbling and a Team Event. The skill sets of Tumbling and Acrobatics are also the athletic components of Cheerleading. The lifts and tosses you see in Cheerleading are actually Acrobatics and Gymnastics skills. Competitors in this sport demonstrate significant strength, power, flexibility, and balance in their skill sets performed. At the Junior High and High School level, our Teams compete at several events around the country leading up to the National Championships in Las Vegas. The current competitive Junior Olympics Acrobatics & Tumbling structure allows for a Youth, Junior and Senior Division.

Electric Avenue Acro’s Junior and Senior Teams are the reigning National Champions while our Youth Team brought home the Silver Medal.

Junior Olympics Acrobatics and Tumbling (JOAT) has become an exciting spectator sport and is offered at the collegiate level at numerous Colleges and Universities around the country with the number of participating schools growing dramatically over the last few years. With Division 1 Universities like Baylor, Oregon and others offering favorable scholarships for incoming A&T Athletes, we recognize the opportunity for these Athletes and have built our A&T program to be a preparatory track for Athletes who want to continue the sport at the Collegiate level.
