Vaulting

Vaulting is a world-class sport, international in scope, which combines gymnastics and the skill of horseback riding. It is fun, beneficial for everyone, and exciting to watch. At "A Vaulting Connection" we take pride in teaching vaulting to any person, regardless of age or ability. By vaulting together we build teamwork, physical strength, coordination, discipline and self-confidence.

Indoor practice at TECC

The Thornapple Covenant Church allows us to graciously use their facility for practice on the barrel. In addition KAY NEHLS, a former gymnast and professional instructor is leading us to do a big part of gymnastics, stretching, strength training and fun team building exercises there.
