A progressive and non-competitive tumbling program for children and teens
Where Confidence Takes Flight
The Skylark Sports Tumbling program helps children and teens develop strength, coordination, aerial awareness and confidence through safe, progressive tumbling skill development.
Designed for athletes aged 5–17 years, Tumbling is ideal for children who love floor and trampoline-based skills without the high level of time commitment often associated with competitive programs.
With the support of qualified coaches and structured progressions, tumblers safely learn skills including rolls, cartwheels, walkovers, aerials, handsprings, flips and tumbling combinations. Every class is designed to help children feel challenged, supported and proud of their progress as they build skills step-by-step.
Our age-based classes welcome all experience levels, from beginners developing foundational movement skills through to experienced athletes refining advanced tumbling technique. Many participants also use Tumbling to complement activities such as cheerleading, dance, acrobatics and gymnastics.

What is tumbling?
Tumbling is floor and trampoline-based skill work – rolls, cartwheels, walkovers, aerials, handsprings, flips and tumbling combinations. It’s ideal for children who love that side of gymnastics without the time commitment of a competitive program. Our curriculum has 10 progressive levels with regular progress checks, so athletes build skills safely at their own pace.
Does my child need experience?
It depends on the level. TumbleFun is a complete introduction – no experience needed. TumbleSkills suits children who already have basic rolling and cartwheel skills. TumbleTricks assumes comfort with rolls, hurdles and cartwheels. TumblePro is for experienced tumblers with a round off, back handsprings and front tumbling skills. If you’re not sure, our coaches and Customer Care Team will help you find the right starting point – including for older beginners.
My child does dance or cheerleading. Will this help?
Yes – it’s one of the most common reasons families come to us. Many of our tumblers use the program to build the floor and aerial skills they need for cheer, dance, acrobatics or gymnastics, and TumblePro in particular supports athletes working towards more complex combinations for performance.
