About The Sport
Gymnastics has been a part of life for thousands of years but trampolining has been a more recent addition to the sport. As with the rest of Gymnastics it requires a high level of strength, technique and flexibility.
Trampoline competitions have changed a great deal with advances in equipment design and materials used in trampolines and as competitions have grown the levels of skill and the degree of difficulty involved in some of the combinations have also grown. Modern trampolines can propel athletes 30 feet into the air and with this increase in height so more twists and turns can be incorporated into each routine, including a range of double and triple somersaults and twists.
