Trampoline Gymnastics
Coach Nani Vercruyssen, Program Head
Beginning Trampoline
Students learn the basics of proper jumping/bouncing, drops/landings, and trampoline skills. They are taught proper techniques for jumps and drops (e.g., seat drop, back drop, front drop, and combinations with twists).
Intermediate Trampoline
Students progress towards front flips, back flips, front handsprings, back handsprings and more advanced body skills on trampoline. Students are also introduced to the whip-type and layout-type somersaults on the trampoline and other rebound surfaces.
Advanced Trampoline
Students learn more advanced trampoline skills, including porpoises, and twisting front and back somersaults. Many students at this level join our competitive Trampoline and Tumbling Team. Multiple twisting and somersaulting skills are developed at this level using a variety of assistance technologies (e.g., overhead spotting rigs and bungies).
