Jacobs Gymnastics Club is hosting our 23rd Annual Tumbling Meet! Mark your calendars! Saturday August 16, 2025, right here at Jacobs Gymnastics! The entry fee is $60, which includes a meet T-shirt for each participant. There are no spectator admission or parking fees. Entry form (no longer available) Deadline July 10!
What is the Tumbling Meet? The Tumbling Meet is an opportunity for our gymnasts, ages 4 and older, beginner through team levels, to compete a tumbling routine and enjoy a meet experience. The gymnasts will be working on memorizing and presenting clean routines during the tumbling portion of summer classes. The routines consist of 4-5 tumbling skills – 2 tumbling passes per routine. Just Tumbling – no beam, bars, or vault!
We encourage ALL our gymnasts, ages 4 and older, Pre-school, Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, JR HT, HT, Xcel through team levels, to enter!
Gymnasts will compete their tumbling routine (no equipment events) with other gymnasts, grouped into the same age and ability level. Each gymnast will be assigned a session – each session is 45 minutes in length, start to finish. We offer the opportunity for our gymnasts to compete in the tumbling meet, just once a year in August! The meet is for Jacobs Gymnasts only and must be enrolled through the summer!
The gymnasts will be practicing the tumbling routines during their class times. This meet is an excellent chance to try out competition and perform in front of parents. The emphasis is on having fun, trying our best, and improving our skills and form throughout the summer. There will be medals awarded to all our competitors, complete with an award stand presentation! No prior competition experience is required- this is the place to gain that experience and confidence. It is also great motivation to improve skills and technique.
The exact competition schedule will be announced on July 20. The competition will be held between 8 AM and 2 PM, starting with the youngest gymnasts and continuing through the oldest/most advanced. Each session is approximately 45-60 minutes!
Entry form (no longer available) deadline Thursday, July 10! Orders for T-shirts, leotards and medals must be placed early!
Entry fee is $60
Your credit card on file will be processed July 12-15.
It is a valuable process in that gymnasts learn a routine, work on their form and technique, present the routine at the meet, and all gymnasts receive a score, medal, and t-shirt at the meet. Practice on these routines begins the week of June 9, during the tumbling portion of class.
We hope you and your gymnast will join in the fun this year!
