Your child's coach will be reviewing the following
information with
your childrean as they begin the trampoline section
of their gymnastics
classes. Please reinforce these safety guidelines by
discussing them
with your child. If you are one of the increasing number
of families
who own backyard trampolines, please insist on practicing
safe
trampoline procedures at home as well.
Thank you!
Trampoline Safety
- Students are allowed to use the trampolines, mini-tramps, double mini, and tumble track only with supervision.
- Control
is vital! Students will not begin learning any trampoline
skills until
they can demonstrate control at stopping their bounce.
- Always bounce in the center of the trampoline bed.
- When
beginning and endinga turn, always walk slowly and
carefully from the
center of the trampoline bed. Step down carefully from
the edge of the
trampoline; do not jump off.
- Make low bounces until the coach allows you to increase
your height.
- No somersaults allowed before team leavel unless your
coach has properly taught the lead up drills.
- Disobeying
the safety rules can lead to broken limbs or neck,
paralysis, and
worse. Please do not underestimate the danger involved
in trampoline
work.
