SUPERVISORS
Educate yourself with the basic jumps and safety rules. To prevent and reduce the risk of injuries,
enforce all safety rules and ensure that new jumpers learn the basic bounces before trying more
difficult and advanced jumps.
Ø
All jumpers need to be supervised, regardless of skill level or age.
Ø
Never use the trampoline when it is wet, damaged, dirty, or worn out. The trampoline should be
inspected before any jumpers start bouncing on it.
Ø
Keep all objects that could interfere with the jumper away from the trampoline. Be aware of
what is overhead, underneath, and around the trampoline.
Ø
To prevent unsupervised and unauthorized use, the trampoline should be secured when not
in use.
LESSON PLAN
The following lessons are suggested in order to learn basic steps and bounces before moving onto
more difficult, complicated bounces. Before actually getting on and using the trampoline, you
should read and understand all safety instructions. A complete discussion and demonstration of
body mechanics and trampoline guidelines should occur between the supervisor and student
as well..
Lesson 1
Mounting and Dismounting-Demonstration of proper techniques
The Basic Bounce-Demonstration and practice
Braking (Check the Bounce-Demonstration) and practice. Learn to brake on command
Hands and knees-Demonstration and practice. Stress should be on four-point landing and
alignment
Lesson 2
Review and practice of techniques learned in Lesson1
Knees Bounce-Demonstration and practice. Learn the basic down to knee and back up
before trying half twist to left and right
Seat Bounce-Demonstration and practice. Learn basic seat bounce then add a knee bounce,
hands and knees; repeat.
Lesson 3
Review and practice skills and techniques learned in previous lessons
Front Drop-To avoid mat burns and teach the front bounce position, all students should be
requested to assume the prone position (face down on the ground) while the instructor
checks for faulty positions that could cause injury.
Start with a hands and knees bounce and then extend body into prone position, and on the
mat and return to feet
Practice Routine-Hands and knees Bounce, Front Bounce, back to feet, seat bounce, back to
feet, seat bounce, back to feet
