Built for Clubs
The Laser Balance Beam Skill Expander adds another progression to beam training by expanding the surface to a generous 53cm wide. Trying new skills can be intimidating — but not with the Laser Balance Beam! Athletes gain confidence as they train, thanks to the helpful visual cues from the numbered lines. These markers make it easy to track foot placement and body alignment. Plus, the balance beam feels solid underfoot, giving gymnasts that ‘real beam’ experience. Best of all? It all happens on a safe, level surface — the perfect setup for progress!
The Skill Expander consists of two different layers of cross-linked closed cell EVA foam with the firm layer on top to provide a firm but forgiving surface. It is covered with Tumbl Trak signature loop carpet material. Think of all the creative stations you can add to beam training using Velcroable Sticky Manipulatives, Fun Sticks, Half Rounds and more to this set up! Athletes will build confidence quickly and safely using this custom set up whether tackling basic drills or inching closer to competition-level moves.
