Alton Trampoline Club

‼️We will NOT be running the session tonight due to extreme high temperatures being experienced. 🔅

It is only tonight’s session (Friday 26th) that has been cancelled & with the expected temperature drop we DO plan on running the Saturday sessions tomorrow (27th) as planned.

Thanks for your understanding!

Congratulations to Head Coach Mike on recently passing his DMT Regional Judge assessment. With latest figures showing fewer than 15 in the country at that level, it’s a fantastic achievement to be one of the select few! 👏🏻

Quick reminder that our club AGM takes place tomorrow 10:30am at the Sports Centre (& so no-one will miss training pick up time).
We welcome any feedback & suggestions & encourage anyone to get involved 👍

Alton Trampoline Club is entirely run by volunteers, and we’d like to say a massive Thank You - we couldn’t do it without you.
Volunteers' Week

🌟 What a great morning yesterday as so many of our members showed off their skills at our Intra-Club competition!

Some fantastic individual routines & culminating in another large set of impressive synchro performances! Well done to everyone who took part & thanks for all the wonderful support throughout the event! 🌟

Just a quick reminder that there is no training tonight or tomorrow as we take a break for the Bank Holiday weekend. We will be back again next Friday (29th) and Saturday (30th).

Enjoy your Bank Holiday weekend, looks like it's going to be a scorching one! ☀️☀️☀️

There are two weeks ago until the Alton Beer Festival gets underway on Fri 29th & Sat 30th May. As a reminder, we are grateful to Alton Beer Festival Charitable Trust, who awarded us funding a few months ago to enable us to purchase a very useful gymnastics incline wedge mat.

The mat has already proven useful as a training aide, especially in helping our gymnasts with their rotation, a fundamental part of somersaulting!

🌟 Congratulations to every one of our gymnasts who competed in the Southern Regional Championships at the weekend!

With 15 members taking part it proved a busy day of thrills, spills, somersaults + a regional champion or two (or FOUR!).

🏆Well done to Natalia, Elsie, Orin & Alice who all came 1st in their Club Level categories.

🥉Gabriela & Effie also won trophies as they each finished 3rd in their DMT groups. With Effie competing at Regional Level 1 her performance means she’s also first reserve for the Southern Regional team.

🏅Harriet (in her first competition) and Isla both won bronze medals for their excellent trampoline scores at SRA level.

💪 These competitions are not just about medals & trophies, but about personal accomplishments & teaching gymnasts to deal with adversity & challenges, as well as achieving successes. Today our gymnasts handled all of these with amazing character, and we are incredibly proud of them all!

From Olivia & Gabriela making unfortunate errors in their early DMT passes to then step up to pull off great subsequent passes, to Lauren having a fall in her final warm-up to show no fear to land her competition routine, to the team spirit shown by every single gymnast to support one another throughout the day, our members dealt with everything magnificently!

🙏Thanks as ever to our wonderful coaches, judges & helpers for their support on the day: Kerry, James, Lauren, Zoe & Mike.

🍀 Good luck to everyone representing the region in July & well done to everybody who took part this weekend! 👏🏻

A huge well done to Natalia today as she finished 15th in the National Schools Trampoline Finals! 👏🏻
Competing in the impressive Derby Arena she proved that she deserved to be there! We’re so proud of her accomplishments to get to the Finals and she once again did a fantastic job representing her school too. The work she’s put in with coach Kerry, there to coach support her, is showing as she continues to improve.
Well done Natalia! 🌟
