Gymnastics Inclusion (UK) supports the widely held view that:
"The principles of Rebound Therapy™ form the basis of all trampoline gymnastic movement and are therefore the logical and advisable starting point for trampoline coach training – even for those who have no intention of teaching people with disabilities."

This course covers all the basics of trampoline gymnastic movement as covered in grades 1 to 3 of the Winstrada trampoline development programme. This training course will prepare candidates for teaching children and adults with a wide range of disabilities. It is an internationally recognised training course and is also suitable for teaching mainstream pre-school children. The course is run by ReboundTherapy.org
  
  
• Step 2) Rebound Plus ('Into-Mainstream') add-on module to the above. This course covers the moves in grades 4 to 8 of the Winstrada development programme. It goes beyond special needs trampolining and is suitable for teaching 'more able' people and mainstream beginners. Course run by ReboundTherapy.org
  
  
• Step 3) Beyond Rebound Recreational Trampoline coaching course. A more advanced course for those who have completed the Rebound Therapy course and the 'Rebound Plus' add-on module and want to progress to teach more advanced recreational trampolining.
