About us
The University of Bristol Trampoline Club is a long-standing club that welcomes everyone from complete beginner to those who were born on a trampoline. We are committed to providing opportunities for all individuals involved with the university to participate in trampoline gymnastics and our coaches will support you in whatever you would like to focus on, whether it's recreational bouncing, competition success as a national-standard athlete, or simply wanting to nail a cool new move!
We were originally founded as a trampoline club, became trampoline and gymnastics in 2012 with the addition of the new discipline and have since gone back to purely trampolining once the gymnastics side became financially viable to survive on its own. Our two clubs remain close and are currently fundraising for new leotards together!
Recreational
A large proportion of our members take part for fun and fitness, and to learn a cool move or two. Recreational members are welcome at all of our training sessions, and we have experienced coaches on hand to help guide you through the process of learning anything you want, or simply teaching you how to get started in the sport. We also offer opportunities to become coaches, giving you valuable leadership and teaching skills as well as giving you advanced technical knowledge in the sport.
According to NASA, rebound exercise like trampoline is more beneficial for your cardiovascular health than running. This is alongside other health benefits such as increased muscular strength and endurance, improved core strength and improved mobility and flexibility.
Competitive
The club runs one of the most successful university trampoline programmes in the country. Our Women’s team claiming the title as BUCS champions in February 2015, and both our men’s and women’s teams getting over three individuals through to finals in 2016. We also had two men's finalists in BUCS in 2019. The trampoline competition structure is tiered so that competitions are accessible for all levels of ability. We've seen some strong novice performances in recent years, including medals at national competitions. We compete in 5 Southern Universities Trampoline League (SUTL) competitions each year, including our own competition which was hosted in November of 2022, as well as competing in BUCS in March.
This year we are hosting our own competition on the 4th November! It's a great opportunity to take part in this and you get to meet all the other competing unis. SUTL will also be hosting a ball at the end of the year to give out league awards!
Social
As a club we're not just about learning somersaults. We have regular socials throughout the year, including sports awards, various formals, our introductory house crawl and various inevitable visits to lounge for sports night. We're a team both in and out of the sports hall!
Equipment
The club owns eight competition-standard trampolines to ensure that everybody can train equally in all our sessions. We also have a rig (a.k.a a harness) and a wide variety of safety matting.
