Fourth form pupil, Elliotte, has seen great success in the recent English Championships for trampolining, winning her age category in this year’s TRI League 2.
She has been training in trampolining for 6 years, after starting out in gymnastics. Her high energy and strong legs led to her gymnastics coach suggesting that she try trampolining, and she hasn’t looked back since! She enjoys pushing herself to learn new tricks and skills and uses her ‘springiness’ to her advantage.
Elliotte trains three times for 2 to 3 hours a session a week. These training sessions include practising routines and new skills in preparation for competitions. Each routine must include 10 moves and trampolinists are ranked on height and accuracy of landing.
Well done Elliotte, and good luck in your future competitions!
