At each session members are divided into groups of similar age and ability. The aim is that there will be a maximum of five gymnasts to one trampoline bed with one coach, and where possible, gymnasts will have the same coach every week.
Our sessions are for members of all abilities. All of our members are encouraged to compete, with opportunities for local Friendly competitions as well as Regional / National events. With different abilities all training at the same time, it gives an opportunity of the beginners to see the level of skills that they can aspire towards.
We run during school term-time with a reduced number of sessions during the school holidays. Priority for these holiday sessions are given towards those members competing in Regional / National events.
We also offer Double Mini-Trampoline (DMT) sessions for those experienced gymnasts to enjoy this other exciting Trampoline activity. For more information about the activity of DMT, please visit our History section.
Our coaches and volunteers are responsible for setting up and packing away all of our equipment, so all help is greatly appreciated and we ensure that everyone that helps is supported.
As part of our procedure updates due to Covid-19, we ask that members arrive 5 minutes prior to the start of each session and wait at the Sports Centre entrance, where a member of the club will come and collect gymnasts and accompany them to the Sports Hall. For those wishing to help set up, they can arrive 25-30 minutes prior to the start of sessions and come through to the Sports Hall.
