Yuma, Arizona - Arizona Western College is proud to announce that the first-ever Arizona Western College Power Tumbling Clinic will be held each week from June 5th through August 9th at ‘The House’-AWC’s home gymnasium-on the AWC Campus. AWC Head Cheer Team Coach Tiffany Minnick and AWC Assistant Cheer and Tumbling Coach (and Level 11 gymnast) Matt Graef will provide expert instruction to kids ages 5-18 of all skill levels.

The series of clinics will be held every Tuesday afternoon beginning June 5th for beginning and intermediate level tumblers, and every Thursday afternoon beginning June 7thfor advanced level tumblers.  The clinics will run from 4:30PM to 5:30PM each day.  The cost of the clinic is $60, which covers the duration of the clinics from June to August.

Minnick and Graef have designed an environment in which safety is the main focus on will be strongly practiced during each activity, allowing students to develop their skills and improve their techniques at their pace.  The coaches will work with every student at every skill level to improve their abilities in tumbling: from the beginner who hasn’t learned any part of the skills yet; to the intermediate-level tumbler who can perform roundoffs, strong backbends and solid cartwheels; to the advanced-level tumbler who knows how to perform back and front walkovers and back handsprings (with light or no spot).
