We have an above-ground trampoline with a rebounding bed that can allow students to learn the
fundamentals of body awareness and train for somersaults and twisting skills. Techniques learned
on trampoline are directly applicable to ANY aerial or gymnastic pursuit, whether it is simply
strengthening core muscles or developing the timing and spotting skills necessary to catch your
double on the flying trapeze.
Class Format
Classes are available as group sessions of 60 or 90 minutes with up to four students
per class. Class time may be shortened with fewer participants as appropriate for number of
participants and physical ability. Private classes can also be booked, starting at $80 for
one person for one hour (call TSNY office to make arrangements).
What You'll Do in Class
In addition to trampoline practice time, classes include an active warm up with stretching,
strength conditioning, and flexibility training. Tips and strategies for continuing your
training at home will also be provided. Regardless of your background, you'll be able to
learn at your own pace and interest level.
Beginners will focus on developing core strength, establishing proper body alignment, and
increasing proprioceptive and kinesthetic awareness (knowing what's going on while flying
through the air). These skills are applicable not only to advancement on the trampoline, but are also
requisites for any aerial sport.
More advanced students will progress to more difficult skills, including multiple twisting
somersaults and stringing together combinations of skills.
Using the TSNY Trampoline Curriculum we will keep
track of your individual progression. As your strength and confidence increase, we will
safely move on to learning newer and more challenging skills.
How to Prepare for Class
First, download and read the TSNY Rules for Trampoline.
It is important to remember that no jewelry, sunglasses, hats, or street clothes are worn on the
trampoline. Only proper gym attire (snug fitting shirt and shorts or tights) will be permitted.
Students may jump either barefoot or wear special gym slippers. Socks are not allowed.
