Athlete Gymnast Trampoline Lessons

Chasing Dreams

Competitive trampoline gymnastics is exciting, exhilarating and so much fun. Within the safety of the Academy and competitive settings, the focus in our trampoline lessons is to help our students enjoy their time with us in ways that exceed their own expectations of their capabilities and what they can achieve.

In our trampoline lessons, we provide the motivating and focused sense of team, challenging and supportive coaching and the guidance required to make it to the highest levels of trampoline gymnastics. We have been right at the top ourselves, so we know what it takes to be there.

We help each student in our competitive programme by discussing and identifying what they would like to achieve, competitively. We then identify how that can be achieved. We call this their pathway to achieving their dream. We then help each student manage their progress to achieving their dream.

The excitement of the journey and the thrill of achievement. We’re with you all the way. This is Chasing Dreams.

Making Memories

This is our recreational programme, open to total beginners and gymnasts who are not wanting the commitment of a competitive programme. Our trampolining lessons are fun and social, ideally suited to children who want to keep fit and active. Children start with a New Member Consultation and work their way through our skills syllabus. When they achieve the class requirements they are invited to move up to the next level class.

New Member Consultation – Trampolining lessons

All new members start with a consultation to assess which class level is most appropriate for future weekly attendance. This is a 30-minute one-to-one lesson.

Jump & Tumble (4-6 years) – Trampolining lessons

Jump & Tumble encompasses trampoline, double mini-trampoline and tumbling into one class. Children learn a combination of fundamental skills, jumping technique and body management before progressing to skills such as somersaults and flips.

Foundations – Trampolining lessons

There are three classes, Foundations 1, Foundations 2 and Foundations 3 which get progressively more challenging. Athletes will master the basics and link their skills to perform routines. The Foundation classes give the athletes the building blocks and awareness needed to move into the Somersault classes.

Somersaults – Trampolining lessons

Working with your coach you will learn how to front somersault, back somersault and link these with other skills. Once the basic somersaults have been learnt the athletes will quickly progress through our skill syllabus all the way to double somersaults.

Adults – Trampolining lessons

This is a recreational programme focused on fun and participation. Adult trampolining lessons are open to total beginners and those who want to polish their skills. This programme is perfect for people who want to keep fit and active while learning a skill.

What level do the leisure classes go up to?

All students in our leisure programmes work towards Skill Tracking. The Skill Tracking starts from the basic jumps and landings all the way up to double somersaults! Therefore, our leisure classes can accommodate most skill levels.

What is Skill Tracking?

Skill Tracking is how we track the students progress and readiness to perform certain skills. The Skill Tracking starts from the basic jumps and landings all the way up to double somersaults. The coaches use mobile devices in the classes to continually assess the students and award stars towards skills depending on how proficient the student is (1 star = attempted, 2 stars = learning, 3 stars = mastered). There are 1500+ stars to collect and a student’s progress can be viewed online in the Customer Portal. When students reach certain milestones badges and certificates are awarded to celebrate their achievements.

Why are there so many stars to collect?

We believe in future-proofing students and not cutting corners. Having lots of small incremental steps helps to create well-rounded students and sets them up for success. The Skill Tracking is a proven framework which helps to motivate and empower students to achieve their goals.

When will my child somersault?

Before a child is ready to somersault they must have passed the Foundations levels. They then join the Somersault classes where the focus is to learn the front and back somersaults. Students are frequently reminded how many stars they have collected and family members can view their Skill Tracking online on the Customer Portal. We appreciate most children's dream is to learn to somersault so we hope that the Skill Tracking and collecting stars keeps them motivated and helps to manage expectations.

My child has trampolined before. Where will they start?

During the New Member Consultation or Jump & Tumble Taster Session, the coach will assess what skills the student has already learnt. They will use the Skill Tracking to highlight the areas that need to be improved. The coaches will start at the beginning and work their way up. This may mean that for the first few classes the student may repeat some prior learning but this is essential so our coaches have a broad assessment of the student’s ability and to ensure their safety.

How is the class structured and what is the floor work they do?

We believe in making every minute matter. Just like a regular fitness class, we aim to keep the students active for the majority of the class. Students move to different stations throughout the class each targeting a specific area of the sport. There are trampoline stations that focus on skills and technical and floor stations that focus on flexibility and conditioning. These stations cover all the components required to future-proof the students.

Do all your classes feature the floor work?

Yes they do. As you would expect in other sports there are other components which are vital for success and safety. Therefore everyone follows the set lesson plan for the class.

Why are there mobile devices and why is my child being filmed?

The coaches use mobile devices to take the class register, update children’s skill tracking and video students Wow! moments.

What is a Wow! moment?

When a child performs a significant skill for the first time (front somersault, back somersault) the skill is captured for the student to view.

Can my child enter competitions in the Leisure classes?

Yes, they can! We have an in-house events series, the Chessington Cup, which is a gentle introduction to competition. Once students are ready, they can enter the regional, London Gymnastics events. If your child has dreams of competing then please make the coach aware at the New Member Consultation.

Can members in the Adult classes enter competitions?

Yes, they can! Our Adult members compete once a year at the British Gymnastics Adult Championships. There is a category for beginners and another for more advanced gymnasts. If you have dreams of competing then please make the coaches aware.

What should be worn to classes?

Tight-fitting sports attire should be worn to classes. Socks must be worn and students should bring athletic shoes which they can run in. When students begin to somersault their coach may ask them to wear a leotard as it will make supporting and catching them easier.

All jewellery needs to be removed (piercings, rings, necklaces, bracelets, religious items) prior to the class. If you have a recent piercing or any body jewellery which cannot be removed, you must inform us prior to the class. This is for your own safety and our coaches safety.

Long hair needs to be tied up, neatly and securely to prevent it from covering the eyes. This is for both men and women. For safety, head coverings must be removed (sports hijabs can be worn).

Can my child attend multiple classes?

Yes, they can! We have many students who attend multiple classes. Please mention this during your New Member Consultation or Jump & Tumble Taster Session. If you are a current member please contact the office directly to arrange this.
