Tumbling Classes

At Xtreme Athletics, we pride ourselves in teaching correct and safe technique through the use of drills, conditioning, and hands on training. We believe in "Perfection before Progression", in which a skill should be perfected before moving on to more difficult skills in order to set the athlete up for success in the future. We offer adult age coaches who have spent years learning the best techniques to teach athletes of all varying skill levels and learning styles.
