The Chicago Boyz Acrobatic Team is a professional gymnastics troupe consisting of talented young men and boys from the Chicagoland area.

Their performance includes amazing acrobatic stunts and tricks inside twirling jump ropes, catapulting off mini trampolines and thundering tumbling routines with impeccable timing.

Founded in 1999 by professional gymnast Tim Shaw, these young inner city youth are taught discipline, respect, hard work, integrity and teamwork. Members must maintain a "C" average in school, are not allowed to drop out of school, associate with gangs, drugs, alcohol or tobacco. Through Tim's positive impact, many kids have not only become professional polished gymnasts, but turned their lives around in the process.

The Chicago Boyz are the highlight of special events nationwide. They have performed at NBA and college halftime shows, professional circuses, festivals, theme parks and schools throughout the country.

"They are definitely one of the best halftime acts that I bring in each year and probably the best in the NBA."
