Hi there,
I'm a fairly new cheerleader (2 years) and my coach doesn't decide to have us learn any tumbling or take any classes. (We're in the non-tumbling division) I was wondering if there was any way to learn how to have basic tumbling by my tryout date? I have the basics (handstand, bridge, etc.) but I can't find a way to make myself progress towards skills like a cartwheel and front walkover. Is there any tips for stretching, mental blocks, or ways to learn these skills at all? I've seen all of the tutorials on Youtube and I just can't find a way to progress and I feel these basic skills are essential for the new high-school team I am trying out on for next year.
Thank you!
P.S. - There aren't any gyms around where I am to learn tumbling, and my parents do not want to drive to the nearest gym, so lessons can't be a solution.
