SFG's trampoline workshop begins with a 45-minute theoretical section, delving deep into the analysis of take-off angles, approach, sprint technique, characteristics of top trampette gymnasts, and the crucial significance of potential energy. We break down all elements of a successful take-off into smaller components, making them clear and understandable for both gymnasts and coaches.

TUMBLING WORKSHOP

15 gymnasts (approx): 2 hours
30 gymnasts (approx): 2 hours (requires two tumbling tracks for the pit)

For gymnasts and coaches

SFG's workshop on whip back, tumbling, and transition techniques begins with a 30-minute presentation. We delve into the basic techniques necessary to succeed in both small and large jumps. We examine how different nations work with the techniques and look at differences and similarities. The similarities are often the cardinal points, which are not up for discussion and therefore the most important for our tumbling success.
In working with the gymnast’s big jumps, we look at both the physical and technical prerequisites for performing the jumps and conducting training with multiple repetitions.
