Mission Statement

The UK Tumbling Collective was created to provide accessible, elite tumble coaching for UK dance & cheer athletes. We aim to provide opportunities for individuals who wish to work hard and progress their tumbling skills for competitive disciplines. Our sessions run in fully equipped tumble venues, with expert coaches. We offer workshops and tumbling camps but also run a highly successful Associates Program, with select athletes chosen to participate.

​

How does it work?

The UKTC Associates Program is run by 230 Intensives in partnership with Steel City Sports. A small group of the best tumblers from the UK are chosen: this means we see your potential and recognise your talent! Places on the Associates program will be limited, and by invitation following successful application.

​

We focus on fine-tuning for exceptional technique, teaching effective drills, and providing direct instruction & constructive feedback. The program is aimed at maximising safe progress in tumbling skills. Skills covered (but not limited to) will include twisting layouts, arabians, whips, baranis, aerials, tucks, layouts, onodis, standing-fulls and running tumbling passes.

​

The program is open to applications from everyone aged 8+ who meet the skill requirements. Tumblers, dancers, cheerleaders, acrobats, trickers and gymnasts are welcome to apply. We are looking for individuals who are looking to push their progress and take it to the next level. We also offer places to select tumblers who we feel will greatly benefit from the access to equipment and elite coaching.  The Associates program is intended to supplement the training provided by athletes’ home programs or studios. It allows participants to train with other like-minded individuals to develop skills, confidence and friendships.

​​

How do I apply?

Athletes aged 8+ to adult age are welcome to apply for the Elite Associates program.

​

To apply, submit a video application of your best skills. If you are a returning Elite Associate (from previous seasons) you need to reapply but do not need to submit a video. See video guidance and application form link within the information pack.

Skill pre-requisites (the minimum skill level for application):

• round-off backhandspring back tuck

All should be performed with strong technique. We will be selecting Associates based on the technique they show in the skills demonstrated as well as the skill level.
