Where is the Club?

Scotstoun Leisure Centre, 72 Danes Drive, Glasgow G14 9HU

When is it on?

Sessions to start with are usually on Sunday mornings. Training on Monday and Thursday nights is by invitation by the senior coaches only.

Who can come?

The club is open to anyone aged 9 and above as this is the age that British Gymnastics says you can go to the toilet yourself! We are particularly interested in attracting performers with a gymnastics/diving/tumbling background who are interested in Competitive Trampolining. Generally this unfortunately excludes adults unless they have a history of competitive trampolining elsewhere or perhaps competitive gymnastics. We currently do not cater for recreational trampolinists.

How much is it?

First timer - £4 per hour - up to 2 taster sessions.

Thereafter costs are dependent on the number of hours and sessions per week.

All club members have to pay CLUB (£15 per year) and SGA membership(£17) as well - the coaches will advise after the taster sessions.

What happens after taster sessions?

If you find that your child/you wish to continue in the club, the senior coaches will advise on the starting point in the club. This is usually Sunday mornings for 3 hours.

At this point, club membership fees (£15 for Year Oct 09 - Sep 10) become payable along with insurance/membership of Scottish Gymnastics. This gives performers automatic affiliate membership of British Gymnastics too - (Currently under dispute between SG and BG)

What should I wear?

T-shirt and shorts or Tracksuit stuff is fine to begin with. Socks are mandatory to reduce rotting of the trampoline! Higher end performers may wish to train in leotard and shorts/leggings.

How many people bounce at a time?

Only one per trampoline at a time! We think a fair maximum ratio of trampolinists to coaches is about 8:1 for general trampolining and about 4:1 for competitive trampoline training.  This is well within the British Gymnastics approved maximums.

Who is the club's child protection officer?
