TUMBLING

Knoxville Twisters Cheer & Tumbling offers over 70 weekly tumbles classes. Our goal is to offer an age/skill appropriate class that fits the needs of our athletes and their families while ensuring your athlete’s safe and successful participation.

OUR MISSION

It is our goal to foster a love for the sport of tumbling while teaching dedication, self-confidence, and the power of a positive attitude. To provide a fun, yet challenging, environment that encourages, supports, and drives the individual athlete to develop their tumbling skills.

Our tumbling offerings begin with our Toddler & Me classes which serves 1.5 to 2 year old children and their adult. Pre-school is our next division with class offerings for 2, 3, and 4 year-old beginning tumblers. Progressing from pre-school to our age dedicated classes you will find classes for 5 year old beginners and intermediate tumblers followed by 6-9 beginner and 6-9 intermediate and even teen beginners! We also offer All-Boy classes for our male athletes who are looking for an opportunity to demonstrate power in their tumbling! Once the required general tumbling skills are met in the beginner and intermediate levels, athletes will transition into our skill-dedicated classes. This means that each class is designed to work on a specific tumbling skill. These skill specific classes, listed in order of progression, are appropriately named for their skill: walk-over, handspring, tuck and advanced/twisting. Once a skill is mastered, the athlete progresses to the next level!
