Lesson 4
Review and practice skills and techniques learned in previous lessons
B Half-Turn
Start from front drop position and as you make contact with mat, push off with arms in
either the right or left direction and turn head and shoulders in same direction.
During turn, be sure to keep back parallel to mat and head up.
After completing turn, land in front drop position
After completing this lesson, the student now has a basic foundation of trampoline bounces.
Jumpers should be encouraged to try and develop their own routines with the emphasis on control
and form.. A game that can be played in order to encourage students to try develop routines is
“BOUNCE”. In this game, players count off from 1 to X. Player one starts with a maneuver. Player
two has to do Player one
’s maneuver and add on another. Player cannot do the routine properly in
the correct sequence. The first person to miss, receives the letter
“B”. This continues until
someone spells out the word
“BOUNCE”. The last remaining contestant is deemed the winner!
Even when playing this game, it is important to perform your routines under control and not try
difficult or highly skilled bounces that you have not yet mastered.
A certified trampoline instructor should be contacted to further develop your trampoline skills.
