My 7-year-old tried out a tumbling class at Sideline Spirit this week, and it was a great class! It wasn't until we were headed to the facility's Budde Rd. address that I realized they are located at Legends Sports Complex (with a separate entrance). The facility is clean and modern (albeit a bit smaller than I'd anticipated).My daughter has been asking to try gymnastics for the longest, but her primary interest is "flips", so I figured a beginning tumbling class would be our best bet. Sideline Spirit offers a one-hour class that suited us perfectly, and the initial class is a FREE trial. It was a combination of tumbling (cartwheels, handstands, bridges, rolls, etc.) and exercise and strengthening (jumping jacks, sit-ups, push-ups, jogging), and I can't think of a more exciting way for her to meet the required dose of daily physical fitness.
I liked that in this particular class, some girls were proficient at the skills introduced, while others were very beginner level, and my Farrah fell somewhere in the middle. My usually shy, reluctant girl was confident as she eagerly participated in the class, and the coaches were supportive and encouraging (and they had somewhat of a no-nonsense approach to the class that I really dig!).
Sideline Spirit offers cheerleading, tumbling, spirit dance, try-out prep clinics, parties, camps, and more, and can be found online at http://gosidelinespirit.com. Tell them WoodlandsMommy.com sent you!
