Trampoline Competitions Worldwide


Trampoline Competitions Worldwide gain attention

It used to be that trampoline was a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon in the yard, but today there is heightened awareness for the spectacular trampoline sport.

Top trampolinists reach heights of over 30 feet while performing gymnastics like feats including sommersaults, flips, backflips, double back flips, aerials and more.

Trampoline can also be used to train top athletes from other sport disciplines including snowboarders, dancers, gymnasts, divers and skiiers. Some recent medal winners from the Vancouver Olympic games admitted to working on some of their aerial skills on a trampoline.

Some competitive trampoline categories include Individual single trampoline competition, synchronised and double mini trampoline.

Usually a trampoline competition involves three rounds or routines. The sport is taking off in Australia, the U.K., Germany, the U.S. and Canada as well as other parts of the world. Your local trampoline training center will have more details on how to become a worldwide competitive trampoline champ!
