Texas Dreams Gymnastics
Trampoline & Double Mini Program

Our Trampoline & Tumbling (T&T) program uses state-of-the-art equipment and makes us one of the most complete training centers in Texas. While competitive Trampoline & Tumbling has existed for many years, it is a relatively new sport to USA Gymnastics. Trampoline was just introduced as an Olympic sport during the 2000 Olympic Games. Athletes compete on three apparatuses in the T&T program: trampoline, double-mini trampoline, and a tumbling rod floor. The Trampoline & Tumbling Program is an exceptional vehicle to build physical strength, muscular control, and overall body awareness. Texas Dreams Gymnastics now offers both recreational and team T&T programs.

TRAMPOLINE
Our in-ground competitive trampolines are 7X14 foot rectangles that can catapult an athlete as high as 30 feet above the ground. During competition, the athlete performs two competitive routines with ten skills each. High-level competitors can achieve double, triple, and twisting somersaults.

DOUBLE-MINI TRAMPOLINE
The double-mini is a two-level trampoline. This event can be compared to springboard diving using a mat instead of water. The athlete runs and jumps onto the trampoline, performs a skill while landing back onto the trampoline, then springs from the trampoline executing one more skill onto the landing mat. Competitors will do two passes during competition and can get as high as 20 feet in the air.

POWER TUMBLING
Power tumbling is done on an elevated, fiber-glass, rod-floor runway that is 86 feet long and 6 feet wide. The rod floor enables athletes to achieve high-flying, explosive skill with multiple flips and twists throughout the run.
