What to expect for first-time students
During a student’s first class we will take them through ground school, where we explain to them what will take place and do some ground exercises to prepare the students for jumping off the platform, swinging on the bar, and falling into the net with safety lines. Beginner students start off with a first swing and work their way through backflip dismounts, knee hang, and a catch with a catcher if they are ready. Students work at their own pace and progress based on their comfort and skill, and receive feedback from a coach on how to work on the skills they are learning. Most participants are able to work through those basic moves in their first class.
