After completing this lesson, the student now has a basic foundation of trampoline bounces.
Jumpers should be encouraged to try and develop their own routines with the emphasis on
control and form.
A game that can be played in order to encourage students to try and develop routines is
“BOUNCE”. In this game, players count from 1 to X. Player one starts with a maneuver. Player
two has to do Player One’s maneuvered and adds on another. Player Three does the maneuvers
of one and Two and then adds a third maneuver. This continues until a player cannot do the
routine until someone spells out the word “BOUNCE”. The last remaining contestant is deemed
the winner! Even when playing this game, it is important
to perform your routines under con-
trol
and not try difficult or highly skilled bounces that you have not yet mastered.
A certified trampoline instructor should be contacted to further develop your trampoline skills.
