What is T&T:  T&T also known as Trampoline & Tumbling is a competitive sport, with Trampoline being an Olympic Event! T&T consists of three competitive events: trampoline, double mini trampoline, and rod floor. Athletes can compete on one or all three events, and mobilize on each event independently. This event mobilization allows athletes to progress faster on the event(s) that they are most successful at. USTA, and USAG, our sports governing bodies offer college and elite training scholarships to athletes achieving very high scores at Nationals and the Jr. Olympics each year. Trampoline and tumbling is an individual sport and athletes performing routines at competitions are judged as so.

 

About the Events:

    Trampoline: Athletes will practice and perform skill level routines involving ten bounces to the feet, back, and belly. At each level, athletes will have certain required skills they must demonstrate in a routine, and the remaining skills will be a showcase of their best ability. Athletes at the sub advanced and advanced levels can also perform synchronized trampoline routines where two athletes perform the same skill elements on different trampolines for a judges score. Trampoline athletes are perform one routine at competition and they are judged on these elements: jump height, control of skills, arm, head and hip placements during skills, correct jump technique, and they will receive difficulty awards for performing advanced skills in each routine.

​

        Double Mini Trampoline: The double mini trampoline is very similar to artistic gymnastics vault...without hands. Athletes will begin with a run, mount the trampoline with a straight body control jump or a mounter somersault, perform an additional jump or somersault in the middle of the trampoline bed, and perform a dismounter skill to a stuck landing. Athletes perform three skill level appropriate passes per competition, receiving difficulty scores for advanced skills.

​

       Rod Floor Tumbling: Power tumbling athletes perform two passes at competition consisting of two to eight skills performed on a fiberglass 120' power rod floor. At the advanced levels, a matted landing zone is offered for safely landing twisting skills, doubles, and twisting doubles. Athletes are judged on speed of tumbling, tumbling technique, skill execution, height of final skill, and stuck landings. Difficulty is awarded to athletes performing advanced skill level skills and reversals.
