All level Tumbling classes are open to team athletes and non-team athletes at World Cup Kansas City.
Jump Class
Cheer Jumps are a skill required for competitive cheer. To look great and score well, cheerleaders must perform jumps with profound technique from the moment they explode off of the ground all the way through to a stable and controlled landing. Jump class is designed to focus on all aspects of the jump from take-off to landing. The jump class will work on hip flexor strength, core strength, jump flexibility, and overall technique. The jump class is open to team athletes and non-team athletes at World Cup Kansas City.

We finish with core training and stretching for a complete workout. The Strength and Conditioning class is open to team athletes and non-team athletes at World Cup Kansas City.
Just Stretch
This is a class that works for all muscle groups in slow stretches and breathing exercises. Stretching your body to become more flexible offers many physical benefits. Such training allows for easier and deeper movements while building strength and stability.
