why choose ironborn athletics?

Ironborn Athletics is different than other tumbling gyms. We keep our classes small, with a low student to teacher ratio. Each class works on specific skill sets, there is no time wasted. Our coaching staff has experience across all levels of cheer and tumbling, from grade school/high school, to competitive, UCA/NCA and collegiate. 

Many gyms may say it, but we mean it. We are a family! Your success is our success, your failures are our failures. Parents, we believe communicating with our members and guardians is a vital part of success, and we highly encourage dialog between our coaches and parents. Building trust and a relationship is of the utmost importance.

Members are placed in a class dependant on their skill level. Upon registration, members will perform a skill placement evaluation, and after completion, a class recommendation will be given by a coach for placement. We strive to make sure everyone in a class is working on the same skills for a better learning environment.
