Sports Facilities

Materials

We train barefoot. Please bring several spare T-shirts.

Special Participation Requirements

Requirements for participation include body tension, balance, some strength, and enjoyment in working out tricks and figures with others. The group is not a competitive group like in sports acrobatics, but rather works more with show acrobatics. Enjoyment of gymnastics is the focus.

A training instructor must be present for a course to take place. In the event of the absence of the instructor on short notice, the training will be cancelled if no substitute can be found.

In Level 1 acrobatic exercises are worked on together. Theoretically, you can begin at any time, but it is recommended, that you take part from the beginning, as the degree of difficulty increases over the course of the semester. Carrying, lifting, flying, standing on one another, holding and being held are all practiced. Equipment is not used as we practice gymnastics with each other.
