Our Tumbling Philosophy: Inspired by Discipline, Driven by Progress

At TrickStar Athletics, our tumbling program is built on a structured, martial arts-style ranking system that promotes discipline, measurable progress, and a sense of achievement. Athletes begin their journey with no band (belt) to white, mastering foundational movements and body awareness. As they grow, they advance to yellow through green, where core tumbling skills take shape. Brown and black bands represent advanced technique, power, and consistency. The elite level is reserved for athletes who reach black band degrees 1 through 9, showcasing mastery, innovation, and leadership in the sport. This philosophy ensures that every athlete trains with purpose, celebrates progress, and understands that greatness is earned step by step.
