Trampoline - Individual and Synchronised

 First you'll learn how to perform simple aerial tricks and maintain your rhythm. Then, as your skills and confidence grow, you'll build up to some incredible big-air stunts. If you want, you can even show off your stuff at one of the competitions for your age group. Of course, if you'd prefer to bounce just for fun and fitness, that's great too.

A typical competition routine on the trampoline is characterised by high, continuous rhythmic feet to feet, to back, front or seat rotational jumping elements, without hesitation or intermediate straight bounces between two elements.

In a synchronised competition, a pair of gymnasts can consist of two women or two men. Pairs must do the same element at the same time and must start facing the same direction.

A typical trampoline competition is made up of three routines/rounds: compulsory (a combination of free and compulsory elements), voluntary (free elements of the gymnast’s own choosing) and the final voluntary round. Each routine is made up of 10 skills and must start and finish on the feet.

Double Mini Trampoline packs a lot of action into a short space of time and can be likened to a combination of Athletics, Trampolining and Gymnastics. 

The DMT looks like two mini tramps that have been joined in the middle. The first section of the apparatus is set at a slight angle and called the mount. From the mount, skills are performed onto the second section of the apparatus. This second section is called the spotter and is where skills can be performed back onto the tramp bed or as a dismount onto the landing mat. 

As you learn you will get to grips with the challenge of hitting the DMT on the run. Then as your talent and technique develop, you’ll start introducing more speed, more height and more amazing somersaults.

Double Mini Trampoline is a regional, national and international sport, so as you progress you may want to start competing.

DMT competitions comprise of four passes (exercises), two in the preliminary round and then two in the final round. Each pass consists of one skill performed as either a mount or a spotter, followed by a dismount skill making two skills per pass.

Our sessions are open to all, although the ability to somersault is desirable but not essential.
