Australia 2007 – trampoline for gymnasts

Rick McCharles presented an overview of the issues facing gymnastics coaches who want to use trampolines and trampoline-like equipment.

He feels trampolines are ideal for fun, fitness and fundamentals. But cautions that the general public perceives trampolines as dangerous — and that very “spring” surfaces can be dangerous when not properly supervised.

Gymnastics coaches should bring in trampoline specialists to help design safe training programs.
