Trampoline & Tumbling
Jump Higher, Reach Further
The Calgary Gymnastics Centre Trampoline and Tumbling Program provides the opportunity for athletes to develop positive self-image, goal setting techniques and physical and mental strength through competitive sport. We strive to create an environment where each athlete consistently demonstrates a passion to prepare and has the potential to perform on Trampoline, Double-mini Trampoline (DMT), and Tumbling.
Although Trampoline and Tumbling is an individual sport, our athletes experience a sense of team spirit, pride and accomplishment. CGC gymnasts may experience the sport at many levels: developmental, national and international. As with any competitive sport, winning is always a goal, however, setting progressive goals and achieving personal bests are our primary focus.
Tumble Stars
Ages 3 - 7 | 4 Hours/Week
Tumble Stars is a pre-competitive program for young boys and girls designed to build a solid foundation for Trampoline and Tumbling while fostering a love for the sport and physical activity.
With a focus on the three events in Trampoline and Tumbling: trampoline, double-mini trampoline and tumbling, Tumble Stars will help to develop strength, flexibility, coordination, focus, balance, agility, body awareness, and basic body positioning/shaping. Classes are multiple times per week to boost skill development and encourage retention of technique and skill.
