At To Shine, we offer a recreational gymnastics program focused on building strength, flexibility, and confidence through the art of tumbling. Whether you’re a beginner looking to develop basic skills or an experienced gymnast striving for advanced techniques, our program is designed to support athletes of all abilities.
What We Do…
We specialise in all gymnastics tumbling, providing a well-rounded program that includes everything from basic rolls and handstands to advanced skills like front handsprings and back tucks. Our classes take place on a 9-run sprung floor, designed to offer maximum safety and optimal support for all tumbling exercises.
Each class runs for 1 hour and is structured to help athletes progress through the different stages of their gymnastics journey. Classes are organised based on ability, not age, ensuring that each student gets the appropriate level of instruction and challenge. We have lots of equipment and do lots of drills so we can help you achieve your tumbling goals.
Our Tumbling Classes
Our program is divided into three levels, ensuring students can progress at their own pace while working towards their individual goals. Here’s an overview of the skills covered in each level:
Beginners
For those just starting their gymnastics journey, the Beginner class focuses on building a strong foundation of basic tumbling skills. The focus is on developing strength, balance, and coordination while progressing towards more complex movements.
Students will work on:
- Handstands
- Cartwheels
- Forward and Backward Rolls
- Bridges, leading to standing bridges
Intermediates
In the Intermediate class, students build on their beginner skills and begin working on more advanced techniques. Students in this class will develop greater control, flexibility, and fluidity in their movements as they transition from basic tumbling to more challenging skills.
Key skills include:
- Standing Bridges, leading to kick-overs
- Front & Back Walkovers
- Handspring drills to prepare for front and back handsprings
Advanced
The Advanced class is for students who have mastered the fundamental skills and are ready to take their tumbling to the next level. Advanced students will refine their technique and work on combining skills to execute more complex tumbling sequences. This level emphasises speed, precision, and fluidity in high-impact tumbling.
In this class, athletes work on:
- Front and Back Handsprings
- Baranis
- Front and Back Tucks
- Layouts
Our gymnastics program is designed for students aged 4 and up, with classes grouped based on ability rather than age. This allows us to ensure that every student is working at the right level to maximise progress and skill development, whether they’re just starting out or ready to tackle advanced tumbling techniques.
