I’M THE ONE WHO FLIES THE HIGHEST…
You are upside down, twenty feet in the air, experiencing a moment of weightlessness. For an instant, time seems to stand still. You peer down at the faces far below you, reach out to the sky and think to yourself: so this is how it feels to fly…
Trampoline is one of the most exhilarating sports there is. From the very first day, you can experience the thrill of leaping higher than you ever have before. Then, as you build your strength and skill, you can challenge yourself to go higher and higher. The sky really is the limit.
Whether you already enjoy bouncing in your back garden or want a thrilling way to get fit, you will find a lot to love about trampolining. With classes for adults, teens and children as young as eight, getting started couldn’t be easier. First you will learn how to perform single aerial tricks and maintain your rhythm. Then, as your skills and confidence grow, you will build up some incredible big-air stunts. If you want you can even show off your stuff at one of the competitions for your age group. Of course, if you would prefer to bounce just for fun and fitness, that’s great too.
