STR/TMBL KONNECT Program

The STR/TMBL KONNECT program (Trampoline and Tumbling) combines power, control, and creativity through a progressive approach to acrobatic movement on the floor and trampoline.
It is designed for young athletes who want to develop and refine their acrobatic skills, whether they are beginners or already familiar with gymnastics or cheerleading.

A spectacular discipline, tumbling involves performing acrobatic sequences on a track — such as round-offs, walkovers, and back handsprings — while trampoline training develops coordination, precision, and aerial body control.
Together, these two sports provide a complete training experience that builds strength, technique, confidence, and body awareness.

The KONNECT program is offered in two classes:

• Beginner (ages 6–8) — Level 1: Initiation
• Intermediate (ages 7–12) — Levels 2 to 4: Introduction to Challenge

This structured progression helps each participant grow confidently and safely:

Level 1 – INITIATION

Forward roll • Backward roll • Cartwheel • Hurdle step, round-off, punch • Handstand • Straight jump • Bridge

Level 2 – INTRODUCTION

Two linked cartwheels • Handstand to roll • Roll + cartwheel • Handstand to bridge • Bridge descent and walkover

Level 3 – PROGRESS

Three-step run + cartwheel + round-off + punch • Bridge descent and recovery to feet • Front walkover (1 or 2 feet) • Tic-toc • Back walkover (1 foot) • Three-step run + handstand + back drop

Level 4 – CHALLENGE

Round-off + punch + rocket jump • Back walkover (2 feet) • Cartwheel + back walkover • Series of back walkovers • Front walkover + cartwheel • Handspring • Front handspring dismount (trampoline)

The KONNECT program is also ideal for cheerleading athletes who want to enhance their tumbling and trampoline skills to reach new personal goals.

At the heart of STR/TMBL KONNECT: power, precision, progression, and confidence.
