Trampoline

Our coached Trampoline classes take place at Gracemount Leisure Centre and are open to boys and girls to learn and develop trampolining skills on our full size, competitive trampolines. While waiting their turn to bounce, trampolinists are kept busy with flexibility and conditioning development work to improve body strength, control and safety. 

All children start at Stage 1 where they master the basic skills and move up through Stages 2-5 as they become competent in the skills for that Stage.  If your child has had significant recent experience please book in for a Trampoline Assessment.  Please note this is assessment is NOT for Beginners. 

Children’s progress is monitored against the Edinburgh Leisure competencies and you can keep a track by signing up to our Coaching Home Portal.  We also run Trampolining sessions for children with additional support needs – the sessions are highly effective for increasing muscle tone, coordination and self-confidence.

Trampoline Stage 1/Stage 2 (P1 and above)

Our Stage 1/Stage 2 class is a starting point for all new participants P1 and above.  This is where children learn fundamental trampoline skills and have the opportunity to build confidence, friendships and have FUN!  While waiting their turn to bounce, trampolinists are kept busy with flexibility and conditioning development work to improve body strength, control and safety.  There are no pre-requisites for this stage of class.  Please note Stage 1/Stage 2 is a combined class.

Trampoline Stage 3 

Our Stage 3 Trampolining offers an opportunity for those who have developed and perfected their basics and are ready to progress to a higher skills level.  Stage 3 participants will be demonstrating that they are eager to learn and have a desire to progress within the sport.  Class time increases to 90 minutes.  Sessions will include both flexibility, conditioning, strength and stamina alongside more advanced skills development to increase the overall skill base and prepare participants technically for further levels of trampolining.
