Trampoline
routines are performed on 7'x 14' web or string beds that can propel
the gymnast up to 30 feet in the air. A competitor takes as many
preliminary bounces as necessary for height and control, before
beginning the first of 10 skills in a routine. Two routines are
performed, a compulsory and a voluntary. The compulsory routine must
include the required elements as determined by the competition organisers. In New Zealand it is set out in our technical handbook. The second routine is a 10-skill voluntary, made up of single,
double or triple somersaults with multiple twists. A successful routine will show
consistency of height, proper technique and a minimum deviation from the centre of the bed. The routine must end under control in an upright
position.
Synchronised Trampoline
Synchronized
trampoline demands the same athletic skill as individual trampoline,
while adding the element of precision timing. Athletes perform two
routines, a compulsory and a voluntary. Using two trampolines, two
athletes perform identical 10-skill routines at the same time. In this
most artistic event, each performs a mirror image of the other, doubling
the visual beauty of the competition. The goal is to have both
trampolinists in total synchronization of skills, height and form.
Double Mini Tramp
Double
Mini-Trampoline is a relatively new sport which 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 skill, immediately followed by a dismount element onto a
landing mat. Competitors perform two two-skill voluntary routines in
preliminaries and two two-skill voluntary routines in finals. Our Competitive Programme includes athletes from Senior International Men down to 8 & under Girls and Boys! Athletes must be dedicated to training and follow a strong conditioning programme so that their core muscles are the required strength to perform their skills on tramp. The development squad start by training twice a week and the International Athletes are required to train 5-6 days per week.
