Tumble Skill Progressions
Welcome to your roadmap for developing powerful, precise, and long-lasting tumbling technique.
Whether you're starting out or coaching athletes aiming for Level 7, one truth remains:
Progress matters more than pace.
This chapter isn’t a checklist — it’s a framework. A system to help you build, correct, and master each skill with intention. From Novice foundations to elite-level passes, every section is designed to help you coach or train with clarity, safety, and long-term success.
What This Module Covers
This is the same progression structure I’ve refined over years of coaching — in private lessons, team practices, and high-level performance environments.
Inside, you’ll find:
Coaching cues that work — Practical, direct tips that clean up technique fast
Effective drills & methods — Systems I rely on at every stage of development
Common error fixes — What to look for, and exactly how to correct it
Skill-by-skill breakdowns — Clear focus points for every level
Visual support (coming soon) — Videos and graphics to guide your training
Whether you're learning your first handspring or refining a double full, this module will show you how to train smarter — not just harder.
The Philosophy Behind This System
After coaching hundreds of athletes at every level, one thing became clear:
No two athletes learn the same way.
That’s why this system is built around:
Clean progression with strong technical foundation
Tools to overcome both mental and physical blocks
Prioritizing shaping, strength, and execution equally
Flexibility to adapt to coaching styles and athlete needs
It’s not a one-size-fits-all plan — but it’s produced consistent, real results.
How to Use This Chapter
For each level — from Novice to Level 7 — you’ll find:
Core Skills: The major tumbling skills introduced at that level
Technical Focus Points: What to emphasize for clean execution
Common Mistakes: What typically goes wrong, and how to fix it
Targeted Drills: Effective exercises to support skill development
Coaching Insights: Key cues, spotting tips, and correction tools
Visual aids and follow-along video tutorials are currently being finalized and will be added shortly.
A Final Word Before You Begin
Whether you're an athlete stuck at a plateau or a coach searching for new tools, this chapter is here to help you move forward — with purpose.
These aren’t just theories. This is the same method I’ve used to help athletes across the world unlock consistency, confidence, and control in their tumbling.
If you're committed to consistent training, technical precision, and progress over shortcuts — this chapter will change everything.
We don’t just chase difficulty.
We build athletes who can execute cleanly, confidently, and repeatedly.
Let’s get to work.
Let’s build from the ground up.
