KIDS TRAMPOLINE CLASSES
CTGC offers kids trampoline classes for all levels of ability which cater for athletes from 7 years of age to 16 years of age. If you are after adults trampoline classes (16+ years of age) please see here.
​
Kids classes are organised according to age. When an athlete enrols they will be placed into a class according to their age. For example, recreational classes are roughly divided into classes for 7-10 year olds and 10+ year olds (there may be some variation in age based on the current enrolments for that session).
​
Information on our kids trampoline classes is below. We normally recommend that new trampolinists start with recreational classes. If the trampolinist likes recreational classes and wants to take their trampolining to the next level they can ask to be assessed to move into our Development or Competition Squads.
Recreational Classes
CTGC recreational classes are "just for fun classes". They teach skills on both trampoline and double mini trampoline and are all about friendship, fun and learning new skills. CTGC recreational trampolinists learn how to jump higher, sault, twist and land safely and progress through the ten trampoline levels at their own pace. CTGC recreational classes cater for trampolinists from seven years of age and for all levels of ability.
Classes run on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays in line with the ACT public school terms. Recreational trampolinists can attend one or two sessions per week and also have the option of attending holiday classes.
Development Squad
Recreational trampolinists who love trampolining, push themselves in training and acquire skills quickly may like to join the CTGC Development Squad*. The CTGC Development Squad is for those trampolinists who want to progress faster in their skill acquisition and gain some competition experience but aren’t ready to take on the demands of training in the CTGC Competition Squad.
​
The CTGC Development Squad trains at least two nights a week in line with the ACT public school terms. Development Squad members have the option of attending holiday training during the school holidays (please note: additional fees apply to attend holiday training). They also have the option of attending the annual ACT Trampoline Competitions and the National Clubs Carnival Competition (held in September).
​
* Trampolinists who are interested in joining the Development Squad can ask the Club Manager or Head Coach to assess them for squad suitability.
Competition Squad
CTGC competitive trampoline classes are all about complex skill acquisition, perfecting routines and competing in competitions. CTGC Competition Squad trampolinists compete in ACT, National and International events. CTGC is the only club in the ACT with a trampoline squad that competes in nationally recognised competitions.
​
CTGC Competition Squad trampolinists train on both trampoline and double mini trampoline and progress through the ten trampoline levels based on age. Development Squad trampolinists who demonstrate the necessary physical attributes as well as the determination to ‘train hard’ are selected to join the CTGC Competition Squad.
​​
CTGC Competition Squad athletes train at least three nights a week for 50 weeks of the year (they have two weeks off over Christmas).
​
The CTGC Competition Squad attends, at minimum, 4 competitions per year (two ACT competitions in February/March, the ACT State Championships in April and the National Clubs Carnival in September). CTGC Competition Squad athletes are aiming to qualify for the Australian Gymnastics Championships (Nationals), positions on the Australian Squads and to represent Australia at International Events.
* Trampolinists who are interested in joining the Competition Squad can ask the Club Manager or Head Coach to assess them for squad suitability.
