The Tumble Hub

Sometimes the skill isn’t the problem…it’s understanding the position.

When staying hollow during her cast wasn’t clicking on the bar, Coach took it back to the breakdown.

First, she practiced the hollow body position face down on the mat. Then she worked on finding that same shape standing up. Once she could feel and understand the correct body position for a cast, it was time to take it back to the uneven bars.

And there it was! 🙌

That’s why we break down gymnastics skills into smaller pieces. Drills help gymnasts build body awareness, strength, proper form, and technique before putting the entire skill together.

Teach the breakdown so they can learn the skill. 💪

WE’RE HIRING! 🤸‍♀️✨

The Tumble Hub is currently looking to add Gymnastics Instructors to our team! Gymnastics is our biggest need right now, but we’re also accepting applications for Tumbling + Ninja positions.

Think you’d be great at coaching kids but don’t have coaching experience? That’s okay — we can train you!

Through our Tumble Hub Coach Training Academy, we’ll give you the training, tools and support you need to feel confident stepping into a coaching role.

We’re looking for people who:
✨ Love working with kids
✨ Bring a positive attitude
✨ Are dependable + hardworking
✨ Are willing to learn
✨ Enjoy an upbeat, active environment
✨ Want to be part of a great team

Previous gymnastics or coaching experience is a PLUS — but it is not required!

Our instructor schedules are flexible, with classes primarily Monday–Thursday from 4–7 PM, making this a great opportunity for college students, teachers, former athletes, or anyone looking for flexible part-time work.

Relevé on beam is about a lot more than just getting up on your toes. 👣

Coach is breaking down what a strong, correct relevé position should look like from head to toe:

✨ Eyes looking forward
✨ Head and shoulders up
✨ Strong posture through the upper body
✨ Legs straight and tight
✨ Heels lifted
✨ Feet positioned correctly on the beam
✨ Body controlled and balanced

These details may seem small, but on a 4-inch beam, they make a BIG difference. Learning proper body position helps gymnasts build the balance, control, technique, and confidence they need as they progress to more advanced beam skills.

At The Tumble Hub, we want our athletes to understand not only what a skill looks like, but why the details matter. 🤸‍♀️

She went from “I can’t do it” ➡️ “I DID IT.” 👏

That first back walkover on beam didn’t go the way she wanted. But instead of letting one failed attempt end the practice, her coach reminded her:

We aren’t giving up. Get back up there. You’ve got this.

So she did. 🤍

She got back on the beam, trusted her training, pushed past the fear… and NAILED her back walkover.

THIS is what gymnastics is about. Yes, we’re building skills like back walkovers, beam confidence, balance, strength, and technique—but we’re also building resilience, courage, confidence, and the ability to keep going when something doesn’t work the first time.

Sometimes the biggest win isn’t the skill.

It’s getting back on the beam. 💪

Save this one for the next time you need a reminder: one failed attempt doesn’t mean you can’t do it.

The basics matter! 🤸‍♀️

Our beginner tumbling circuits are designed to help gymnasts build strength, coordination, body awareness, and confidence while learning the foundational skills they’ll use as they progress.

This circuit works on:
✨ Forward rolls with a pool noodle — helping gymnasts learn proper shape and control
✨ Backward rolls — building confidence moving backward and developing body awareness
✨ Cartwheels — working on hand placement, coordination, and the basics of proper technique

We may call them “beginner” skills, but these are the building blocks for so many bigger tumbling skills down the road! 💪

The skill: 10/10 🤸‍♀️
Coach’s recovery: 0/10 😂💀

Anything for the girls, right?!

The skills are important. The medals are exciting. But this? This is what it’s really about. 🥹🤍

Watching our older girls encourage, help, and look out for the younger ones is one of our favorite parts of Tumble Hub.

Because we’re not just raising gymnasts. We’re raising teammates, leaders, encouragers, and girls who know how to make someone else feel like they belong.

And someday, that little girl will be the one helping someone else. 🫶
