T&T Overview:The Matrix Tumbling and Trampoline Program is the keystone of what makes The Matrix a "one of a kind" place to train! Skills learned in Tumbling & Trampoline classes will help athletes gain strength, agility, body control and more. The program is designed based on more than 30 years experience of world renowned coach, Joy Umenhofer and our entire staff is excited to help athletes excel in tumbling, trampoline, and cheerleading!
T&T classes are divided by ability and age. Classes are available for toddlers through adults. The schedule accommodates families by having several class levels at each hour so that siblings may take class at the same time. The Matrix will strive to keep a 1:6 coach to student ratio for ages 5 & under and a 1:8 ratio for ages 6 & older.
T&T Staff: The Matrix is proud to have a world renowned staff when it comes to Tumbling & Trampoline and Cheerleading! The coaches are all USAG certified in T&T and Safety. Please click on the “Staff” link at the right to learn more about our staff!

Make-up Classes: Due to the fact that the majority of our classes are full, The Matrix DOES NOT offer make-up classes if you miss your regularly scheduled class. Students are encouraged to attend their weekly classes in order to progress properly, not fall behind other athletes in their class & keep a camaraderie among classmates and the coach. It is Matrix policy, that if an enrolled student misses their regularly scheduled class(es), the tuition will NOT be pro-rated or refunded.
The Matrix provides an Athlete/Parent Handbook for all registered students. Feel free to ask for one at the front desk or download it for more information on registration, rules, regulations, policies & procedures. Handbook 2009-2010
We strive to provide a schedule that accommodates busy families with busy kids! Please keep in mind this schedule is subject to change based on enrollment. Classes with less than 4 students will be canceled and students moved to another time/day.
