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 develop routines is “BOUNCE”. In this game, players
count off from 1 to X. Player one starts with a maneuver. Player two has to do Player one’s maneuver and add on
another. Player cannot do the routine properly in the correct sequence. The first person to miss, receives the letter “B”.
This continues 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 control 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.
