SUGGESTIONS FOR TEACHING TUMBLING : Page 9

Stimulate group activity. In schools where companion tumbling has been taught properly in physical education classes, it has proved very popular. It is only natural for performers to want to work together. Group stunts are particularly helpful in motivating the mediocre performer. The indifferent performer often will put forth his best efforts so as not to spoil a group stunt. The performers can learn most stunts best by working in pairs if they are really taught how to assist each other. When working in pairs or small groups, it is very important that the same partners work together, and that the same bottom men are used, so that mutual confidence is established between the performers.
