Tumbling Basics & Cheerleading

Video Transcript

Hi! I'm Lucy Spain on behalf of Expert Village here to talk about cheerleading jumps and tumbling. One of the most fun aspects of cheerleading is the incorporation of tumbling. Tumbling is basically a form of gymnastics that the gymnasts are demonstrating when they do their floor routines. As a cheerleader, it's important to definitely have some gymnastics background in your training. You can take a class in your community or if one is offered in your school to start out and learn the basics of tumbling. When and why do we use tumbling in cheerleading? Tumbling is a great thing to use in cheerleading because it's something that not everyone can do. It usually gets the crowd pretty excited. There's a lot of different tumbles. We can incorporate them into a cheer. We can do them during halftimes and timeouts, and most importantly, we use tumbling to show off our skills when we're doing tumbling passages in competition. No matter what your level of tumbling is as basic a somersault all the way up to back fulls, it's really important that you incorporate some tumbling into your cheerleading.
