About the Team
Exhibition Team is a performance tumbling and dance team that performs locally at college basketball games and other events in Wichita. Practices are on Saturdays from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm starting in September and continuing through May. Performances are on weekends, and the team usually attends around ten per season.
Costs Involved
The tryout fee is $15 if you sign up before August 9 and is $20 after that date. The team class fee is $70 per month in addition to existing class fees. Other costs include leotards and performance fees. Our coaches put together multiple fundraisers during the season to help cover these additional costs.
Join the Team
Tryouts will be held on Saturday, August 16, 2025 at 1:45 pm. We will evaluate gymnasts on their ability to perform the gymnastics and dance skills listed below, and we will also take into consideration focus, work ethic, attitude, and class attendance. Participants must remain in a class or lesson at Acrobatic Academy in addition to being on the team. Gymnasts are expected to attend all practices and performances throughout the season and must commit to staying on the team for the entire season.
