Tumble Smart Staff

 Tumble smart is owned and operated by Coach Levi and his wife Christina. Levi grew up tumbling under the coaching of his father, Leonard Nickson. At the early age of 12, Coach Levi began coaching alongside of his father. In 2010, Levi graduated and began coaching full time. He gained experience working in popular cheer gyms throughout Tulsa. After two years of working in gyms, he moved into freelance coaching. During this time, Coach Levi rented floor space, coached at schools, parks, yards and even people’s garages!  By November 2015, Coach Levi had built up his name and reputation within the tumbling industry and with a loyal group of students; he was able to open the doors to his own facility, Tumble Smart Athletics. 

Christina joined the Tumble Smart family in 2019. Questions about classes, enrollment, tuition, camps or our policies? Christina is here to help. Her passion for organization and implementation of systems and procedures helps Tumble Smart to run smoothly and efficiently. 

Growing up in Chicago Christina was on the dance team and participated in recreational  gymnastics and tumbling. She has a passion for tumbling and loves that she now gets to call it work. 

  Miss Patti has over 25 years of experience working with young children. Over those years she has instructed and taught children as a preschool teacher, motor skills teacher, and gymnastic instructor. She has taught in large recreational and competitive gyms in the Tulsa area. For the last 12 years, prior to joining Tumble Smart, she  was the director for a children’s gym in Broken Arrow where she had the opportunity to create, develop and manage a successful tumbling program.

The beautiful smiling face you first see when you walk through the doors of Tumble Smart is none other than Jaci! Tumble Smart has been blessed to have Jaci join the team over the summer. Jaci's background and degree is in business administration and marketing from NSU. Jaci is up front to answer questions during classes, help with making adjustments to your schedule, track your students attendance and much more. If you have any questions while you are at Tumble Smart feel free to ask Jaci! 

Maricarmen Camacho de Turner joined the Tumble Smart family in 2020. Originally from Santa Cruz Bolivia, she would spend hours tumbling with her sister. She participated in gymnastics for many years at "club7". Her favorite event to compete in was floor. Now, as a teacher, she gets to share her love and joy for gymnastics with children daily. She is "honored to be a part of the team of coaches at Tumble Smart and teach all the wonderful children."

Helen Morrill grew up in Tallahassee, Florida, where she was introduced to gymnastics at a very young age, watching her older brother train and compete. By the age of 3,  Helen, herself, was on the gym floor, where she immediately caught the eye of her coaches, who recognized her potential as an elite athlete. Helen was laser-focused on her training and excelled in all of the girl's events. But it was on floor exercise where she took center stage and, eventually, the state championship. A fierce competitor, Helen was also known as a loyal and encouraging teammate. Her beautiful smile lit up Gym Force, where she eventually returned to coach alongside her former coach, aspiring the next generation of young gymnasts to pursue their dreams.  In 2019, Helen moved to Tulsa to be near family. Helen is happiest when she is working with young people, including her 3-year-old daughter, London. Nothing brings her more joy that seeing young people discover their abilities and gain confidence in who they are both in the gym and  in the world.   Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles. It empties today of its strength.
