The Rig is installed in the supporting beams of a sports hall or gymnasium and
is
used by the coach to support a performer learning advanced skills. It is used with

Tumbling belts usually come in two sizes Medium or Large which are adjustable to fit different waist sizes. The tumbling belt should fit the pupil securely and comfortably.
