Beginner Trampoline Course - Mixed

Take your trampoline skills - both gymnastics and freestyle - from beginner or higher to a pro level. Who is the instructor. Hi.

My name is Kris Olson, and I've been a gymnastics coach in Colorado for over 10 years as well as a competitive snowboarder and a coach of competitive snowboarding for over 20 years. Now, about this course:StretchingI introduce several stretches that will directly help us with the skills we work on in this course and describe how to do them properly to go along with the demonstrations. Ideally these are done daily.

ConditioningAlong with the stretches, I introduce several different exercises relevant to the skills we will be working on to get your body ready to do them safely and successfully. BasicsOnce the warm ups have been done, we get into the basics - still technical but serve as our building blocks to build good form for when we start learning the actual skills. This section includes bounce technique, rolls, bed tricks (tricks done by bouncing off of different parts of the body), bed trick combinations, cartwheels and round offs.

SkillsThe meat of the course - the actual tricks. But even these are meant as stepping stones to harder tricks covered in my higher level courses, but it's important to build good technique from the beginning. This section includes spin technique, back drops, dive rolls, 3/4 front flips and pullovers (a backflip drill).
