UWIC TRAMPOLINING CLUB

Competing for UWIC

The UWIC trampolining team attend many competitions throughout the year. The year starts with friendly student competitions in Bath and Bristol and throughout the year UWIC also compete in the BUCS regional competition, ISTO in Ireland, Kiel Open in Scotland and also in BUCS finals up in Sheffield. The competitions are open to beginners, intermediate and advanced competitors.

Last year UWIC trampolining won the following competitions:
Bath team open
ISTO team trophy and form trophy
BUCS women’s and men’s team trophy

Training with UWIC

UWIC trampolining welcome and encourage anyone to join. We cater for all abilities, from those who have never been on a trampoline before, to those with lots of experience. The AU club also has links with UWIC Academy which competes in the National Competition structure.

The training sessions are as follows:

Tuesdays 5:30 - 7:30pm (Russell Rees Gym)
Thursdays 5:30 – 7:30pm (Russell Rees Gym)
Fridays 7:30 – 8:30am (Russell Rees Gym)

The training sessions are supervised by qualified coach, Sandra Yeates and alongside are some of the trampolinists who have also gained coaching qualifications varying from level 1-3. This means that there should be at least one coach on each trampoline bed.

The training sessions will run from 28th September 2010 – 17th December 2010 and from 17th January 2011- 25th March 2011.

Information on the 2011-2012 trials will be posted in early September.

Socialising at UWIC

Socializing is a big part of the Trampolining team as we feel it helps to gain friendship and bonds with each other throughout the year. The UWIC Trampolining team has a very active social life and all members of the club are welcome to join in with all socials. The events organized include themed/ fancy dress nights out, drink bowling, paintballing and an end of year trip which will be announced at a later date. We also run fundraising events to help reduce the costs of social events and competitions. We have many social nights out with other Universities at competitions which provide opportunities to meet trampolinists from all over the UK. The clubs social secretary (Rachel Critchley) ensures that members are never left wondering what the trampolinists are up to next!
