At the competitive level, tumbling becomes a very important component
to a cheerleading routine. Tumbling will be greatly emphasized, along with
strength, flexibility and power. A routine will be developed and will be
comprised of tumbling, dance, stunts, and jumps. Athletes hold a commitment
to their coaches and teammates which makes attendance mandatory (unless
discussed with coach prior to). The athletes are encouraged to have fun, but
stay serious and safely work their way through stunts. Athletes will be placed
in an appropriate level with the rest of the team.
