Trampoline and Tumbling
Trampoline and Tumbling (TnT) is another discipline of gymnastics along with Men's & Women's Artistic, Acrobatic, and Rhythmic gymnastics. TnT althetes compete on as many as 4 events: Trampoline, Synchronized Trampoline, Rod Floor (Power Tumbling), and Double-Mini (Trampoline Vaulting).
CCG currently has a 40 ft. rod floor and an Olympic size trampoline.
This is a great sport for kids who love to bounce and tumble; who would rather spend most of their time flipping and twisting instead of practicing all of the artistic events. Athletes can be extremely sucessfull with trampoline and tumbling regardless of their body type, size, or age!

Ages 5-8 years
Tuesdays 3:30-4:30pm
Wednesdays 1-2:00pm
Fridays 2-3:00pm or 4-5:00pm

Athletes learn basic skills on the trampoline, tumble track and the rod floor. The focus of this class is to provide a safe, relaxed environment where kids can have fun as they develop their balance, coordination, flexibility, and strength.
Intermediate TnT
Age 8+
Tuesdays 4:30-5:30pm
The intermediate trampoline and tumbling class
is a continuation of the direction provided by the beginning class. Students expand their trampoline and tumbling abilities with careful attention to the
level of safety required when learning more
advanced skills.
Competitive TnT

This is for intermediate-advanced athletes who have a previous background in TNT or who have been invited into the program.
