Handstand Training

We have dedicated an entire class to the most important body position in tumbling and acrobatics: the handstand. Although the handstand is the foundation of almost all skills, its development in athletes is often overlooked because of its simple visual appearance.
We see handstands as more than just going upside down and hoping to stay inverted for as long as possible in any position. Through training, athletes will gain an understanding of how to control inverted positions and learn the relationship between the handstand and other skills.
Surprisingly, the handstand takes years to master and is more difficult to learn than what most people consider to be advanced tumbling skills. Because of this, the focus in handstand classes will be on proper alignment and control in order to achieve balance. With an emphasis on upper body strength, athletes will also learn counterbalancing techniques, movement in handstand, head positioning and safe entrances and exits.​
