Trampoline
Classes
Our
Trampoline 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.
