AACC Class Descriptions

We have MANY classes available for beginners to advanced tumblers and cheerleaders of all ages.

AACC offers students tumbling training for all levels of experience.  Regardless of the their previous experience we prepare our students in alignment with USASF competition level requirements and NFHS safety rules and progression.  Without a solid foundation in tumbling it is difficult, if not impossible, to perform the advanced skills necessary to be a true competitor in this sport.  Students progress at an individual pace that is comfortable and safe to achieve complete tumbling competency. NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE is required to begin learning how to tumble!
