USAG Tumbling & Trampoline

Welcome to Miss Maria’s USAG Tumbling and Trampoline Team! Miss Maria’s has a strong trampoline and tumbling tradition. Since 1997, our team members have taken top honors in the State of Kansas, Regionally, and Nationally. Celebrating hundreds of State, Regional and National Champions.

Many of Miss Maria’s USAG Team Members continue using their skills not only in high school gymnastics, but also in cheerleading, volleyball, pole vault, dive team, high jump, basketball, and many other sports that require the athlete to skillfully move their body in mid-air.

USAG stands for United States Association for Gymnastics. One of USAG’s FIVE divisions is Tumbling and Trampoline. Tumbling and Trampoline is a GREAT Alternative to traditional Artistic Gymnastics. Miss Maria’s competes at a State, Regional and National level in Tumbling, Double Mini Trampoline and Trampoline (which is now an Olympic event). Miss Maria’s only competes in levels 4 and higher for USAG.  Most of our team member start their competitive career by competing on our NAC tumbling team first until they reach level 6 in NAC.  Miss Maria’s is very proud to be a part of the USAG Tumbling and Trampoline since 1997.  We welcome anyone who wishes to join our team.
