What tumblers work on

Tumbling lines & power

Apparatus & events

Progressions on floor and, at higher levels, work on bars, beam, and vault or trampoline in a structured class setting.

Strength & conditioning

Core and body-weight work so new skills are safe and skills stick for the long run.

Form & control

Coaching on body position, line, and safe progressions — not just the trick, but how you get there.

Confidence in motion

Practical questions

We are here to help you place your athlete, understand weekly class vs. a one-day clinic, and get signed up. Reach out to customer service anytime.

What is the difference between this page and “Flip Academy”?

Flip Academy highlights our full artistic gymnastics path (Flip 1–3). Flip Tumble 1–2 and Flip Tumble 3 on this page describe the tumbling-focused track and intermediate programming you asked about. Your coach or front desk can confirm the best class on our schedule.

Why is approval required for Flip Tumble 3?

Flip Tumble 3 is a longer, intermediate class with more advanced skills. We want every athlete in the room to be ready for the pace and content. Please speak with staff before enrolling so we can confirm placement.

How do Tumble Clinics work?

Clinics are single-session add-ons, usually on one Saturday a month in Menifee. You can mix and match topics (see the schedule), take advantage of the package deal, and enroll in Tumble Clinics through the parent portal, or pay at the front desk by the Friday before. Team athletes receive 20% off clinic prices.

Where are weekly tumbling classes held?

Day and site vary by program. See our locations for all gyms and use contact for the current class schedule in your area.

VWEA has transformed not just my daughter's gymnastics — it's shaped her confidence, work ethic, and love of being part of a team. We couldn't imagine a better gym family.

The coaches at VWEA genuinely care about every single kid. My daughter started shy and timid — now she cheers in front of hundreds with total confidence. Worth every mile of the drive.

Four years in and we keep coming back. The structure, the discipline, the community — VWEA has given our son so much more than athletic skills. He's become a leader in everything he does.

We tried a few gyms in the area and nothing compared. The Ninja program is incredible — my son asks every single week if it's class day. The instructors make it challenging and fun at the same time.

Five years with VWEA across two kids and not a single regret. The multiple locations make scheduling so easy, and the coaches remember every child by name. It feels like home.

Started our 3-year-old in the preschool program and couldn't believe how quickly she opened up. Patient, encouraging coaches who know exactly how to work with the little ones. Highly recommend.
