And I say HA only because she wasn't going to compete tramp this year, but had a change of heart. Last year she was consistently middle to bottom of the pack. Last qualifier she was 3rd and this time she won! Happy shocker!
She also placed 3rd on Double mini, which was the opposite kind of...
I am a mom/new coach trying to help out a gym nearby to start a TNT program. There is no one within 3 hours of me who does it! I just took my two small daughters to their first competition to try it out and they loved it so much that they want to drop gymnastics all together! All we have is a...
I am going to see if we upgrade any equiptment this summer if we might get a trampoline spotting rig. I am researching to bring the idea to the owner. Our trampoline is a square euro tramp style comp. trampoline off the ground. But it is not close to the walls and cannot be, the ceiling is also...
We just had a new 10-year-old girl join trampoline, and she is one of the most coachable kids I have ever seen. She is going to lay off practice for a couple of weeks because she has diving nationals next week, and the trampoline is starting to confuse her about technique. She will be back...
Hi coaches!
I coach a tumble & tramp class consisting of older athletes (10+) and am struggling with two of my athletes working on two different skills:
The first athlete is oldest and working on a front tuck (for the time being, we are doing this at the end of the tumble track). She really...

In our area I am personally familiar with 2 gyms and have friends in several other locations. From about 5 gyms altogether (that's pretty much what we have here anyways) only our gym has trampoline routine along with floor routine for in gym meet. 3 out of 5 gyms don't even have trampoline...
DD did her first double backs over the weekend on the tramp. It probably took 10 minutes of the coach telling her to do it before she got over the excitement/nerves/etc and tried it. Still has to move to the tumble track and eventually the floor, but it was fun to watch.
She spent the rest of...
Hello Everyone,
As the new T&T coach at our gym, I am very unfamiliar with what meets we should be attending. Wondering if anyone on here is from the Wisconsin/Illinois area and would have some insight on where I should be looking to find meets. Any help is appreciated!
THANKS!
Coach Robyn :)

Hi all,
My daughters class has started doing back tuck and forward tuck drills on the trampoline (with a belt). Its the highlight of the day and they just love it! However, they haven't yet learned a back handspring yet. Will learning the back tuck first on trampoline make it harder or...

I guess this could go in Brags, lol but this is a lonely category so I'm putting this here!
DD competed trampoline, double mini and synchronized trampoline this past weekend. She earned BRONZE in trampoline and double mini!!! And before that day she had never trained on an actual double mini...
I have to vent. I am a sort of level 10 trampolinist sort of because I can't do 1 skill in the compulsory routine the cody. It is a back 3/4 (back flip to stomach) and then the cody part is a back flip off your stomach to your feet. To me nothing feels more unnatural than doing a back flip off...
I have a Nissin with an Aussie String Bed. I am currently tearing it down fully, readjusting everything, greasing the the pivots, and giving the frame a good coat of paint. It will be stored out doors sometimes, to I want to do everything I can to insure it is well maintained. It is going to...
All USTA levels are optional levels, so there is more variety even at the lowest levels (hence posting more than 1 routine at most levels)

Some linkage. Please be aware that these athletes are legitimately that level, so the form may not always be perfect, especially at the lower levels. Level 5 and up can qualify to Nationals, but levels 1-4 (I've never seen 1 or 2 competed but it could happen) are for fun. These routines are set...
my really good friend kate was doing very simple things on the tramp two days ago, like back hand springs and simple elements like that, just to cool off from her workout that day. well, she landed on her neck wrong.. and now she's paralyzed from her hip joints down... she's really really ripped...
