Trampoline Awards
The British Gymnastics Trampoline Awards develop fundamental actions, shapes and landings required for a lifetime of enjoyment and technical progress within the sport of trampoline gymnastics. The award scheme is built around 15 award levels, each offering a variety of skill development.
The scheme starts at 1 and moves up to 15
(the opposite to Gymnastics which starts at a higher number and works it way down, just to confuse us, we think!).
On joining the club, the coaches will determine which is the best level for your child to start at, and the children spend some time working towards their next level every week. As trampoline coaching is largely individual, we can cater for all abilities, from beginner to advanced.
