How will Trampoline and Tumbling help my child?
Research over the past ten years has shown the direct connection between mind and body.
Sensory motor skills are the fundamental building blocks of cognitive development. Skills
performed in trampoline and tumbling directly enhance learning abilities in the classroom
by creating new pathways in the brain. What a fun way to get smarter!
There are also lots of advantages to trampoline exercise programs: It is known to improve
blood flow and lymphatic circulation throughout the body. Every muscle of the body is
strengthened, joint flexibility and bone density is greatly increased whenever you bounce
trampoline.
Skills performed in trampoline and tumbling are the basis for movements found in every
other sport. Athletes with a strong foundation in trampoline and tumbling have gone on to
excel in other sports such as swimming, soccer, basketball, football, volleyball, and baseball.
Within this training is the concepts of personal best and life long fitness goals.

There are many gymnastics programs offered through U.S.A. Gymnastics. They include:
men and women's artistic, trampoline and tumbling, rhythmic, team tumble, and acro. We
practice endurance, strength, and flexibility which apply to all of these disciplines, as well as
all sports. Trampoline and Tumbling is the fastest growing sport within U.S.A.Gymnastics.
We are proud to train athletes to use trampoline in a safe manner with skill progressions
that lead them to State, Regional, and National competitions.

Trampoline and tumbling includes four events within its program - Power Tumbling,
Trampoline, Synchronized Trampoline and Double Mini Trampoline. Both men and women
participate in all four events. Some gymnasts choose to focus on just one area, while others
participate in all four events.
The first trampoline World Championships event was held in 1964, and trampoline was
first recognized as a sport in its own right in the U.S. in 1967. Trampoline made its debut as
an Olympic sport at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia.

TRAMPOLINE
As a sport, trampoline varies greatly from recreational bouncing. International competition
trampolines are larger and more powerful than traditional "backyard" models, propelling
trained athletes as high as 30 feet in the air during performances. During two competitive
routines of 10 skills each, upper-level athletes can easily demonstrate a graceful array of
double, triple and twisting somersaults.

POWER TUMBLING
Power tumbling is performed on elevated runways, generally designed with fiberglass rods
underneath, that help tumblers propel themselves higher than a basketball goal as they
demonstrate speed, strength and skill while executing a series of acrobatic maneuvers.
Explosive somersaults with multitude flips and twists are performed by the top-level
contenders.

DOUBLE MINI-TRAMPOLINE
Double mini-trampoline combines the horizontal run of tumbling with the vertical rebound
of trampoline. After a short run, the athlete jumps onto a small two-level trampoline to
perform a rebounding trick immediately followed by a dismount element onto a landing
mat. Double mini-trampoline is similar in concept to springboard diving, using a mat
instead of water.

SYNCHRONIZED TRAMPOLINE
Synchronized trampoline demands the same athletic skill as individual trampoline, while
adding the element of precision timing. Using two trampolines, side-by-side, two athletes
perform identical 10-skill routines at the same time. In this most artistic event in the
sport, each performs as a mirror image of the other, doubling the visual beauty of
trampoline competition.
