Rhode Island, our smallest state, might be tiny, but it is overflowing with character, charm, and outstanding gymnastics talent! Nestling in one corner of this magical place is Rumble Tumble Gymnastics Academy, where kids flip, flop, and fly around like human-shaped rockets, led by the legendary coach, Captain Cartwheel. Captain Cartwheel, also known as CC, is rumored to be a retired superhero who swapped saving the world for coaching kids gymnastics. Known for his sparkly red leotard, bushy mustache, and his ability to cartwheel faster than a Ferrari, CC is adored by all the gymnastics-loving kids of Rhode Island. The children who attend Rumble Tumble are a lively bunch. They are as agile as squirrels, as flexible as spaghetti noodles, and have the heart of a lion. They can vault like kangaroos, swing on bars like monkeys, and balance on beams like tightrope walkers. Their laughter echoes through the gym, while their dreams of becoming the next Simone Biles or Sam Mikulak twinkle in their eyes. There's Billy, the bouncy boy who can do more backflips than anyone can count. And Lily, the tiny tot who can walk on her hands longer than she can on her feet! Then there's the mischievous duo, Fred and George, who are so synchronized that people often call them the "Twins of Tumble". Even though Rhode Island is tiny, the big dreams and even bigger talent of its gymnastics kids make it an extraordinary place. Remember, in the world of gymnastics, no state is too small, and no dream is too big!
