All-Star Tumbling Classes

[Jenniturtle]

I am wondering how every ones CP's tumbling classes are structured. My daughter has been in her class since September. She is in the Novice level and has her BHS and ROBHS and has been working on a two BHS series. Every class seems geared towards the kids who have not mastered the higher stuff. I feel like my CP is never going to gain any more knowledge as they are just going over the same things week after week. One week she may work on her two back handspring series and the next all lower level skills. She does take privates once a week to work on it. Do you think I should say anything to the owners? They just moved up one girl who is working on her tuck.
any suggestions?

My sister's gym offers classes based on what level they are working towards. Right now she is in a "push for 3" class, filled with solid level 2 tumblers. She entered with a back handspring series and roundoff back handspring series. She has worked on perfecting that and began working running tucks and jumps to series BHS.

I like the idea of the "push for" classes, because it starts the class out with a goal in mind. You know exactly what's legal in that level, so you know what you will be working towards.

If she is working on her BHS series, It looks like novice is where she is supposed to be. After she gets that, she will probably move up.

Our gym has a Level 1A- which is for those who have their BHS and are working on passes and multiples. They need to get that before they move to Level 2.

Based on your chart it looks like she is in the correct class. The BHS is one of the most important skills to learn in tumbling, and hopefully they are keeping her in that class to perfect her technique.

So are those skills prerequisites for each level, or are they the skills they will have once they complete the level?

How on earth do you do a cartwheel step out rebound (beginner)?

Good question. I feel like all cartwheels are step outs, haha

I am wondering, is this tumbling layout in a gymnastics environment or cheer environment? This grocery list of tumbling and expected skills for each level reminds me a lot when my daughter was learning skills in a gymnastic setting. The gym test your cp in the beginning and then place them on a level-novice, and then your cp must test out of that level to move to the next level, so if this is how the tumbling class is set up, your cp will need to progress through all of the novice level skills in order to move up to the next level...I actually like this approach because everything is clearly stated and out in the open, no room for anyone to scream favoritism... Matter of fact, the teacher who teaches the class does not test the students on the skills, but a panel of coaches decide if the student perfected the skills, especially, the basic level skills...

nope its a cheer gym. My beef is that I haven't seen ALL the needed skills being taught. I am there EVERY week and have not seen some of them taught at all. sometimes (but not all of the time) they will separate those with a BHS from those who don't have it. mostly its a circuit where they go from forward rolls, to doing a front walk over aided by some sort of padding. They do BHS's using a cheese mat. the things the are doing are not challenging my CP and at least 2 other girls.

It sounds like the problem is those girls who don't have a BHS should be in the beginner class because it says "working BHS" that may be what's holding it back a little bit.

Our classes are separated by level, and there is also a level 1 & 2 tumbling class for 8 years and younger. Most of the time it is two levels together in a class but no more than that.

Maybe just focus on the privates .......

Well I know, sometimes a student can perfect a skill and the teacher can request an early assessment of skills...the student will perform the skills and be given a grade, just like a report card, which is kept on file and a copy is given to the student for record keeping...
I remember with the grocery list of skills, they had different stations set up and the students are put in groups based on what skills they have not mastered.... For me, this way worked for my daughter and she was always challenged working on skills or building up to learn that new skill, which to untrained eyes seem to be boring...
I will advise you to speak to the teacher about your concerns and have them explain what is happening...

Sounds like there are a bunch of kids who don't belong in her class. It looks like a BHS is a prerequisite to be in Novice...
