Welcome to a new digital series from the NCATA! 

Member institutions have created short videos to share some of the basic skills of Acrobatics & Tumbling with a wide audience. These skills have been selected in response to inquiries from youth programs that want to know how to introduce potential student-athletes to Acrobatics & Tumbling skills while still training in their youth gym.

Skills shared in the video should only be attempted on a safe surface in a gymnastics, cheerleading, or sports facility with a trained coach present.  Depending on the skill, have additional spotters in position to ensure safety.
