Telford Twisters Trampoline Club

This write up was done by Darren on Josh and Elise's first West Midlands Training Squad Session:-

Saturday was Josh and Elise's (J/E) first development squad session. After registration they had their warm -up and then were split into two groups.

They started on the trampoline and stayed together - they were the only 2 and spent an hour and three quarters doing one on one off. Their fitness levels were really tested by this stint and both coped admirably. They rotated between four trampolines each with a different coach. They had their skills tested and ticked-off on their training sheet.

During this time Chris acted as their mentor and also stood with the coaches gaining hints and tips himself.

After a short break it was their turn to have a go at DMT, something that neither had tried before. After only a couple of tries, both were tuck jump and then barani off. They even tried barani off the the first bed, which they both achieved eventually. Elise with her gym background had the edge over Josh but both said it was hard but enjoyable. I have video of them on the DMT which is a bit big to email but will bring along on a memory stick for the website.

After the warm-down period the head-coach congratulated all participants on their effort and said there would be more. Sounds like it will be every 4 to 6 weeks.

Chris said that both had made the most of this fantastic opportunity and had worked really hard.

Elise went off on holiday to Devon, Josh ended up at Oakengates and did Sian's second session!!!
