When Danielle Wills was looking for a tumbling-only program last year for her son, Jake, she said there were none to be found in the Austin area.
“He didn’t want to do the other parts of gymnastics or do cheerleading, but just tumbling,” she said. “I started asking other parents, and I saw the definite need [for a tumbling program].”
In December, her idea came to fruition when she opened Tumble Tech, a program devoted to power and competitive tumbling.
Although Danielle does not tumble, she does have four children who do. During the past 18 years, she said she has watched and learned plenty about the sport. Her oldest daughters, Megan and Madison, were both cheerleaders at Westlake High School and now coach at Tumble Tech. Her youngest two children—eighth grade twins—are involved in the sport, with Jake being a member of the Tumble Tech Competitive Team and Kaitlyn trying out for the Westlake High School cheer squad.
