We are thrilled to bring custom-designed and creative tumbling and movement classes to children of all ages. Classes can be held in private homes, preschools, and almost anyplace!
From our tiniest movers in parent/tot classes to older kiddos exploring new skills, we love inspiring confidence, creativity, and joy through movement.
Jill Goodman's love of gymnastics began at the age of 8 when she was enrolled in a rec class at her local park district.
She continued with the sport in high school where she competed on the varsity team. During her many years of working with kids, she has always integrated gymnastics into her programming.
Jill has coached recreational gymnastics on Chicago's North Shore since 1997. She loves seeing children of all ages gain confidence and body awareness as they progress through her programs.
She brings boundless energy to her classes and truly loves seeing the growth and confidence that gymnastics instills in young children. She is thrilled to be bringing her love of the sport to the children in South Florida.
Jill graduated from Indiana University with a BA in journalism, and worked in that field until her first child was born in 1996. Soon after, she had the opportunity to teach gymnastics at the local park district.
From the beginning, she knew it was the right move. Her love of the sport and creative coaching style has made her an asset to everyone she works with.
Classes with The Tumbling Teacher are safe, fun and creative. We pride ourselves on tailoring each session for the ages of the kiddos. In general, we work on all rolls, basic intro to handstands, cartwheels, body positions, round offs, cardio and flexibility. Of course classes and lessons are personalized to the ability/age of the participants.
The Tumbling Teacher brings all equipment, including mats, low beams, wedges, etc. Classes include a fun warm up where new skills are introduced each week. Children practice both new and familiar skills on an obstacle course, and there is very little down time. We love to keep them moving!
In addition, we do fun gymnastics games, parachute play all in a fun and safe setting.
