What To Bring To Your First Session

If you haven’t already returned your signed Membership Form, please bring it with you. You cannot take part until we have your signed form. You can find a copy of the Membership Form and also the Club rules at the bottom of this page.

What To Wear

  • Wear loose, comfortable clothing such as a T-shirt with tracksuit bottoms, shorts or leggings, or a leotard. Make sure your clothes aren’t too big or flappy, though, as they’ll get in the way when you’re bouncing, and your T-shirt could fly over your head!
  • Socks are essential to prevent slipping or getting your toes caught in the trampoline, but ensure they are cotton rather than nylon, as nylon socks can slip. 

What Not To Wear

  • Absolutely no jewellery, anywhere on the body, not even ear studs.  Why? The trampoline bed is a mesh bed and you do not want your jewellery getting caught in the bed whilst your body is rebounding upwards. Crop tops (short T shirts) as it will act like parachute on the way down on a bounce.

British Gymnastics Proficiency Awards Scheme

Trampoline Proficiency Awards develop fundamental actions, shapes and landings required for a lifetime of enjoyment and technical progress within the sport of trampoline gymnastics.

  • Levels 1-5 are suitable for Pre-School and Beginners and are designed to provide an all-round grounding for trampoline. Levels 1-5 are also a suitable training programme for people with a disability.
  • Levels 6-10 are suitable for Primary and Secondary children from 5 years and build on the actions from 1-5 through a set of challenging yet exciting skill sets.
  • Awards 11-15 are suitable for competitive gymnasts of secondary school age and allow for progression to a competitive standard and incorporate individual skill development, drills and routine construction information. Individuals must pass 7 activities per level to receive the award.
  • Every new member will be assessed to see where they start on the proficiency award. From there, they will start working towards the proficiency level and when achieved all preceding levels will considered passed and awarded if requested. The first few awards are often achieved relatively quickly, but this slows down considerably as they progress through the awards. You will be notified by email when they pass each level.
  • If you wish for a laminated certificate and badge to be awarded, the cost is £4.00 per set for Awards 1-10 and no charge for awards 11-15. They can take up to 2 weeks to make up and they will be awarded at their session.
