ABOUT MAUI TUMBLERS
We are a mobile gymnastics company bringing our gymnastics equipment and coaching skills directly to your school.
We provide supervision and guidance by a trained adult to ensure proper skill progression.
Every week, your child can participate in a gymnastics class consisting of warm up and stretching, skills review, new skill activity, obstacle course and conditioning.
We offer a safe and non-competitive environment, where each student will be able to have fun, meet and play with other students, learn new skills and develop physically.
We also offer private lessons, birthday parties, and cheer classes.
All of which we bring the equipment and coaching to you.

Our Vision
Maui Tumblers strongly believes that gymnastics should be part of any school/developmental activities program. When proper skill progression is followed within a safe environment, there are many benefits to the participants. By offering a non-competitive environment, each student will be able to have fun, meet and play with other students, learn new skills and develop physically. We are dedicated to bringing this experience to the students of Maui. Because of the convenience and affordable rates Maui Tumblers offers, we believe more children will have an opportunity to learn new skills that they may not be able to obtain elsewhere.
Did you know …
"Gymnastics is an activity that children engage in naturally during play. They love gymnastic movement, because it allows them to become their own roller coaster, with the body itself providing thrills as they execute each skill."
"By being nurtured and supervised by a trained adult, children will receive that 'just right' challenge that enables them to take part and enjoy the success that comes from participation, and completion of the task."
"Appropriate physical challenge will give a child self-confidence and self-awareness, two valuable tools that help children understand themselves and communicate with others."
