Our gym is primarily a cheer center. Our "bread and butter" is our competitive cheerleading. However, we are in the business of training ATHLETES! We want to start teaching your baby as soon as they can walk so that they will develop the tools necessary in all sports! Our tumbling classes are great fun and we see it as a way to spot exceptional talent so that we can recruit for our allstar cheerleading! Also, it is the only way most children can become an allstar because they have to have an opportunity to learn before they try out. However, we experiece much turnover with our developmental athletes and families. Our opinion is that quite often, it becomes too inconvinient for parents and so it is easy to quit when there is such minimal investment. Unlike dance, where you have purchased 3 pair of specialty shoes, recital costumes, etc----quitting tumbling is easy. Additionally, for the children who struggle, it is not always fun and rewarding. The talented children LOVE it because each week they accomplish a new trick. Then, usually those children move to allstars. The less talented get frustrated easily, feel inferior, and do not enjoy---- not exceling. Who can blame them? Many parents come to us because their child is overweight, uncoordinated, lacks confidence---and they want us to help. We certainly have done just that for many children. But, in a sport that requires agility, strength, rhythm, flexibility, and tenacity----those who struggle, generally quit! So... our developmental program is not a major source of our revenue! It is a program we offer and do a great job with. In our opinion we teah tumbling skills better than anyone in the city of Savannah period. The local gymnastics gyms & school cheer squads all have athletes that take tumbling from us in addition to what they get there. It is our "nitch". From forward rolls to fulls, we specailize in tumbling!
