How do I train to become a trampolining coach?
For those of you who wish to coach recreational trampolining in schools, clubs or leisure centres, see below:
Gymnastics Inclusion (UK) and Authority Sports UK support 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."
The recommended pathway for recreational trampoline coach training for coach candidates dedicated to the concept of full inclusion is:
- Step 1) The Level 2 Rebound Therapy training course. This two-day 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' add-on module to the above. This two-day 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) Authority Trampoline Coach (also known as Beyond Rebound) Recreational Trampoline coaching course. A more advanced two-day 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. The course covers the moves in grades 9 and 10 of the Winstrada development and proficiency award programme.
