Is your child already landing back handsprings — and ready for more? Do they want to connect their skills into powerful tumbling passes like back handspring + back tuck or layout? Then this advanced workshop is made for them!

 

Designed for confident intermediate to early advanced athletes, this training focuses on mastering backward tumbling combinations with proper form, timing, and power.

 

Main focus: Back Handspring + Back Tuck / Layout

 

This is the next level in acro — and it requires more than just throwing skills. It’s about refining technique, building explosive power, and understanding how to safely connect tricks into fluid sequences.

 

Led by experienced coach Andrii, the workshop will cover:

• How to transition smoothly between back handspring and back tuck/layout

• Spotting & correcting form errors that cause loss of control

• Strength, rebound, and timing drills to improve height and technique

• Personalized feedback to match your child’s body type and learning pace

• Mental strategies to overcome hesitation and build confidence in combinations

If your child already has the basics and wants to push toward clean, connected, and competition-ready skills, this workshop will help unlock their full potential.
