Tumble into Fitness

My students need great tumbling mats to help improve their strength and balance.

My Students

Who knows!? One of my students could be a future US Olympic Gold medalist in Gymnastics, but we need tumbling equipment to help us build our strength and skills.

My students are very motivated to improve themselves.

They always walk into the gym ready to learn and be healthy. Class sizes are 45-66 students per class period. With such large classes, the more equipment we have, the more "hands-on" my students are during their P.E. time. They are working instead of waiting in line for a turn to practice and work-out.

My Project

My students love trying new things and challenging themselves to be better than they were even the day before. With good tumbling mats they will be able to improve on all of their tumbling skills, from beginning egg rolls to more advanced skills, such as back walk-overs.

Gymnastics skills will help make my students stronger!

It will improve their over-all fitness level, upper body strength, balance and confidence. These skills can carry over into other sports they may want to pursue in the future and hopefully help them to develop lifetime fitness skills.
