Competitive Trampoline & Tumbling

For Ages 5 and Up

Our competitive TNT program gives both male & female athletes the opportunity to compete their hard-earned skills and learn new ones while also developing strength, flexibility, confidence and making new friends.

WHAT IS COMPETITIVE TRAMPOLINE AND TUMBLING?

Trampoline and Tumbling or “TNT” is the fastest growing segment of gymnastics in America because it incorporates the fun, explosive movements kids crave. Trampoline is an Olympic event and power tumbling is what all gymnasts, dancers and cheerleaders need to succeed. TNT gives athletes an opportunity to compete at a different level on each of the three disciplines (trampoline, power tumbling, double mini-trampoline). In traditional gymnastics, the athlete has to be the same level on all events – bars, beam, floor, and vault. Imagine excelling on trampoline and being allowed to compete as a level 10 and compete power tumbling at level 7 that flexibility allows us to tailor the competitive training and competitions so we are not holding the athlete back on events they could be excelling at.

Why sign your child up for competitive trampoline and tumbling?

Hi-NRG Trampoline & Tumbling Program has been around since 2012, with our program being one of the largest in Missouri. Our tumbling athletes compete in levels 3 through elite on an 88 foot rod floor, 20 foot run-up and finishing on a regulation landing mat, while our trampoline athletes have a total of four trampolines, two of which are Ultimate Euro trampolines with end decks. Every year, Hi-NRG hosts a USAG invitational meet in our gym each for levels 1 – 10 to encourage local competition. We have an incredible group of younger athletes, some as young as age 5 called the “Future Sars”. Our Future Sars are also given the opportunity to compete within the ten levels – we have a spot for everyone to compete!

WHAT THEY LEARN

Building Blocks of Gymnastics

Back Handsprings

Whip Backs

Twisting

Dbl and Single Somersaults

Power Tumbling

Power tumbling is performed on a raised rod floor runway that helps tumblers propel themselves higher than a basketball goal as they demonstrate speed, strength and skill while executing a series of acrobatic maneuvers (typically 8 skills at the upper levels). Top-level contenders will perform explosive somersaults with multiple flips and twists.

Trampoline

Competition trampolines are larger and more powerful than those utilized in the early years and a far cry from the “backyard” models that are found today in most American suburban neighborhoods. These modern trampolines can propel trained athletes as high as 30 feet in the air during performances. During routines of 10 skills each, upper-level athletes can easily demonstrate a graceful array of double, triple and twisting somersaults.

Double Mini-Trampoline

Double mini is a relatively new sport that combines the horizontal run of tumbling or vaulting with the vertical rebound of trampoline. After a short run, the athlete jumps onto a small two-level trampoline with a 65 foot run-up to perform a rebounding trick immediately followed by a dismount element onto a landing mat.

Synchronized Trampoline

Synchronized trampoline demands the same athletic skill as individual trampoline, while adding the element of precision timing. Using two trampolines, two athletes perform identical 10-skill routines at the same time. In this most artistic event in the sport, each performs as a mirror image of the other, doubling the visual beauty of trampoline competition.
