EDITORIAL
Martin Laws Dear all, Welcome to this first edition of TRAMPOLINE NEWS
2005. My thanks to John Beeton the editor, for all his efforts to keep
you all informed, and all those who have contributed to this important
Newsletter. Please circulate this latest edition as widely as possible. The National Technical Assembly was a great success,
with speakers in a Trampoline specific program to supplement the
comprehensive general program and the launch of the new Trampoline
Development plan, which can be downloaded from BG’s website. It is also
pleasing to see more Trampolinists attending this year, and it is an
important event now in the Trampoline year. 2004 was an extremely busy one as usual for the
sport of Trampolining. A few changes took place within the NTGTC. The January
2005 elections saw existing members being re-elected: Martin Laws (Chair),
John Beeton (World Class Liaison) and Mike Phillipson (Judging) in
addition, Joanna Shackleton is now a fully elected member for
Development. Congratulations to John Beeton on his re-election
into the FIG Trampoline Gymnastics Technical Committee and his imminent
retirement from work will not leave him bored! Trampoline competitions in 2004 had an increase of
participants from 2003, with in excess of 9000 members registered as
trampoline competitors. Of this number approximately 900 competed in the
national grade 1 or 2 competitions, with the remainder competing at regional
or below levels. These figures do not include schools events. Double Mini
Trampoline continues to grow with almost 150 competitors at the National
Championships. Mike Phillipson has continued to support domestic judging
panels, and a new judging scheme is expected in early 2005. New exam papers
have already been developed to incorporate the new 2005 FIG rule changes. The Coach Education Panel has continued its massive
workload under the watchful
eye of Cathy Page and Lloyd |
Readhead
with over 2400 coaches gaining a new qualification during 2004. From only 65
tutors and examiners, this is a highly active and productive area. Whilst it
is always pleasing to see the amount of new coaches joining the sport, this
year we managed an increase to 1 in 10 advancing to club coach which is
excellent news. NTGTC would like to congratulate all of our squad
members and their personal and squad coaches for keeping Great Britain at the
forefront of the international scene. Your dedication has not gone unnoticed. The future for our sport looks good, and with the
co-operation of all trampolinists, we will most certainly go from strength to
strength. As 2005 opens, it goes without saying that we have a great deal of
work still to do, but I am confident that Trampolining will remain one of the
most successful disciplines of British Gymnastics. 2005 is going to be an exciting year for
Trampolining. I am certainly looking forward to the next twelve months. NEWS 4-5 World Cup events are planned for 2006 in CHI RUS USA
CAN and GER. There is also the
possibility that China will visit the UK in 2007 for two international
matches, most probably in Manchester and Birmingham. A FIG International Judges Course is planned for
Great Britain during the weekend 27-30 May 2005. Mike Phillipson has details. Lofer Fitness Training Camp National Squad members, took part in a Fitness
Training Camp in Lofer AUT during the month of January past and John
Beer has very kindly produced a report – see Page 6. Squad Members
who participated were: Claire Wright, Kirsten Lawton, Jamie Moore,
Katherine Driscoll, Amanda Parker, Mark Alexander, Gary Smith, Gary Short,
Paul Noblett, Brian Camp. |

7th World Cup
Final in Trampoline and Tumbling: Algiers ALG With last minute withdrawals of both Claire
Wright and Kirsten Lawton, through injury, British Gymnastics were
represented in these finals by Simon Milnes and Mark Alexander in
the men’s synchronised event, finishing fifth place behind the rank
outsiders, Kawanishi /Nakata JPN. Podium places in
the various finals were: Women’s Individual Trampoline Final 01 Irina KARVAEVA RUS 40.00 points 02 Olena MOVCHAN UKR 38.30 points 03 Anna DOGONADZE GER 38.10 points Men’s Individual Trampoline Final 01 Yuri NIKITIN UKR 41.20 points 02 Alexander RUSAKOV RUS 40.60 points 03 Henrik STEHLIK GER 40.50 points Women’s Synchronised Trampoline Final 01 KARAVAEVA/KOLESNIKOVA RUS 48.00 points 02 LEBEDEVA/PETRENIA BLR 46.70 points 03 DOGONADZE/SIMON GER 46.60 points Men’s Synchronised Trampoline Final 01 KAWANISHI/NAKATA JPN 49.90 points 02 SERTH/STEHLIK GER 49.80 points 03 CHERNONOS/NIKITIN UKR 49.80 points 05 ALEXANDER/MILNES GBR 49.10 points Kathryn Peberdy rose to the occasion yet again, by finishing
in 3rd place in the Ladies Tumbling Final, with Robert Small
finishing in 6th place in the Men’s Tumbling Final. These first World Cup Finals in Trampolining and
Tumbling to be held on Africa soil, although well organised, were spoilt with
the tight security in place, both in and around the hotel and sports hall.
Having to show ones’ passport seven times on departure was a bit over the
top, in my estimation! Ed. NEW FIG SECRETARY GENERAL André Guiesbuhler has succeeded Norbert Bueche as the new FIG
Secretary General, from 1st January 2005. André is the former
Secretary General of the FIT. As Secretary General, he will have to
make use of his vast experience in the months ahead to rally the membership
to the challenges that are sure to come, especially in the aftermath of the
major problems that faced gymnastics in the wake of the Athens Olympic Games.
We wish him well. Ed. |
BG Trampoline Gymnastics Code of Points Changes for 2005 Mike Phillipson For all the Coaches
and Judges, below is a quick guide of all the Code of Point’s changes for BG
competitions for the new Olympic Cycle 2005. These should be read in conjunction
with the old Code of Points (2001-2004) which will be replaced early in 2005.
Your club will receive a copy of the new code once it is printed. Please read
these changes AND the competition handbook, particularly for the minimum
difficulty values in the compulsory routine at the men’s and ladies Grade 1
competitions, and the penalties, which apply if the minimum difficulty value
is not achieved. General Rules
Changes These changes to
the rules apply to all levels of competition, including recreational
competitions. Dress for Female
Gymnasts 6.2 Sleeveless
leotards are permitted. In a team event all members of the team MUST wear
the same sort of leotard (e.g. all with sleeves or all without). For details of
what is an acceptable sleeveless leotard please see the 2005 Milano Catalogue
page 2 Design Number 2 (Kirsten Lawton). Dance leotards or strapless leotards
are not acceptable. Spotters 9.3 & 9.5 At no
time should there be more than 4 (four) spotters around the trampoline. Arbitration Jury
and Protests (11) This rule has been
deleted from the BG Code of Points. In case of
obvious errors concerning the calculation of difficulty or execution scores,
a team coach, gymnast or judge who recognises this should (at a suitable
point) approach the Chair of Judges (CJP) In a professional and friendly manner before the end
of the round to allow the CJP
to clarify the score before the start of the next round. Warm Up 12.2 Abusing the
right to warm up: if a gymnast abuses the right to warm up, the CJP may instruct
the recorder to deduct 0.3 points from the total score of that
gymnast’s following routine. After the Final
Landing 17.2 After the
final landing……the gymnast must stand upright for approximately
3 seconds.

British Gymnastics National Trampoline Gymnastics Technical Committee
Strategic Plan: April 2005-March 2009 This month the British Gymnastics National
Trampoline Gymnastics Technical Committee launches their new ‘Strategic
Plan – April 2005-March 2009. The
plan brings together a number of strategic policies produced by British
Gymnastics, in a concentrated focus upon the discipline of trampoline
gymnastics at a United Kingdom strategic level. With overall responsibility
for trampoline gymnastics in the United Kingdom, this strategic plan will be
facilitated by the National Trampoline Gymnastics Technical Committee. The strategy will cover: ·
Establishing
UK level targets for all areas of activity within the discipline of trampoline
gymnastics. ·
Providing a
clear vision for the future development of trampoline gymnastics. ·
Prioritising
resource allocation. Recognising the British Gymnastics vision, this
strategy will set out how the National Trampoline Gymnastics Technical
Committee, working in association with British Gymnastics, the four Home
Nation Associations and British Schools Gymnastics Association will fulfil
this vision for trampoline gymnastics. The British Gymnastics vision
statement will provide a foundation specifically for the discipline: “To provide the opportunity for every individual with an interest or talent for trampoline gymnastics to be able to realise their full potential within
the Sport. To be able to support and nurture its volunteers, staff and membership through the provision of professionally delivered services that consistently strive to improve against identifiable performance indicators” The vision will be developed through seven key
policy areas: 1.
Professional
Governance, Structures and Finance 2.
A Culture
and Structure of Innovation and Finance. 3.
Quality
Club Accreditation and Improvement. |
4.
Strategic
Facility Development and Support. 5. Coach,
Judge and Officials Development. 6.
Performance, Excellence and Competition. 7.
Long Term Strategic
Planning. It is the key that the National Trampoline
Gymnastics Technical Committee takes advantage of the new opportunities to
lead and develop the discipline over the next four years. Annual Report of Coach Education Committee 2003/2004 Cathy Page This report relates to the year from 1.10.03 –
30.09.04 General Review The number of new coaches has slightly
gone down this year. This is
disappointing compared with last year’s dramatic increase but reflects that
we are really at the limit of our capability with the number of tutors we
have. The urgency is for more tutors so that those who currently tutor fewer
courses at the lower levels and more at the higher levels. It may also reflect the increase in hours of the
Coach Award. Mechanics – there has been a total revision of
trampoline mechanics (terminology and understanding) which has been presented
at the Tutors seminar for 2 years and Technical Conference last year. It will
be presented to Coach level from Jan 1st 2005 and gradually the
other awards as we get round to redoing the resource packs and exam papers.
Jake Bailey and Richard Ollerenshaw have been responsible for the new
developments, but with Fred Yeadon’s co-operation and inspiration. Thanks to
them. A 2-hour pre Club Coach module for the rig has been
introduced, and a brief resource for it has been written. Rosemary Bascombe has joined a pre-school committee to
develop a pre-school module for trampoline coaches. Coach Level Since the introduction of the 30-hour coach course –
no problems have been reported. The resources are under review. Club Coach The percentage of those going on a Club
Coach has risen from 9.8% last year to 11.32%, which is about 1 in 10, which
is good. |
%: 01569 766074 Email: john@jbeeton.wanadoo.co.uk
Hopefully,
it will continue to rise. There are still areas not running even one course
each year. The logbook still isn’t in circulation due to backlog of old ones,
but the tutors have been instructed to give out the basic exercises to be
done in the mentored learning period. There is also an urgent need to put
mentored leaning at Club Coach and above on the map. Currently, most of the
mentors take their duties fairly lightly and also have little time for
supervising the trainees. Senior Club Coach There are about 5 Senior Club Courses run in England
which will need increasing each year to cope with the increased take up of
Club Coach. About one third of Club Coaches go onto Senior Coach. This year
the number of passes went own but this may be due to many coaches who have
done the course but who haven’t completed either the mentored learning, or
they failed one part of the theory, particularly the Common Core, which is
extremely difficult for those new to BG and without a gymnastic background.
Again, the new logbook is almost ready but there is a large stock so tutors
will be given a sheet of requirements for the mentored learning. Half-out Module This module will gradually disappear as fewer of those
who go on to HPC haven’t already done the ½-out in their SCC course. As these
get fewer, those needing it are encouraged to attend the relevant part of
Senior Club Coach Course. High Performance Coach Following the Gillingham Course last year 6 people
passed but 8 didn’t feel ready to take the practical exam. It takes longer
than 6 months to prepare pupils for this exam if they are working with those
who are only at the 2 x half out level at the time of the course. Coaches
really should not come on this course until the pupils are already doing 2 x
½ out and double back in their routines. They will then be ready to progress
further. A second mid week course was held at Gillingham in
July with 16 participants. The exam for this course will be in March. A
further course is running at weekends in January/February 2005 in Portsmouth.
Unless there is a large demand, the Gillingham July course won’t run this
year. International Performance Coach The IPC course is completed and ready to be examined
in March/April this year. It is not certain whether the next course will take
the same format or whether we introduce the ‘moves’ into the HPC enabling
coaches working with top level performers to coach and train these moves. Teachers Course There have been over 500 Teachers award coaches
trained in in-service teacher’s weeks and in-service courses. Disabilities Courses The module and stand-alone courses continue. There were 133 |
Passes between them Double Mini Tramp Courses Only one course at Club Coach level was held and
none at any other level. There are 5 tutors who are qualified to tutor all
levels to HPC level but they are all too busy to run courses. Rosemary Bascombe is training as a tutor. Tutor Training One the tutors/examiners list there is 65 current
tutors and one examiner who do not tutor. Of the 65, 4 are disabilities
tutors only, and 4 DMT tutors only. We have 4 new trampoline tutors in the
past year, but 4 who have been taken off the list balance this. Some of the
remaining is also very inactive for various reasons! We will need many more
when Assistant Coach is introduced. At Club Coach level there are 29 tutors,
every region except the West Midlands having at least one. There are 2 new
Club Coach tutors and 3 new Senior Club coach tutors. These can be one of the
two examiners required at this level. We need more to move up to HPC and IPC
levels. One trampoline tutor induction day was held – 8 potential tutors
attended. Tutor/Examiner Seminar An excellent seminar was held in September at
Loughborough. The next will be held on 3/4th September 2005 at the
same venue. High Performance Conference A High Performance Conference was held alongside the
BG National Technical Conference at Lilleshall in Jan 04 – the topics covered
were Mechanics, Physiology of Trampolining, Neurolinguistics as an aid to
understanding your performer, twisting and somersaulting, ‘Pretty girls in
little boxes’. It was suggested that regions organise lower level
conferences – the NW has, but I haven’t heard of any others? Changes to the Code of Practice There have been a few small additions to the Code
relating to the trampoline set-up, core stability and use of the rig. The latest edition is June 04, which is
on the website. Coach Education Panel The Coach Education Panel met on 1st
October 03, 4th February 04, 23rd June and 20th
October 04. Decisions made in 2003/04 related to Tutor
accreditation’s, approval of new resources, new exam papers, arranging for
annual Tutor seminar, rig module for pre club coach course, deciding on
skills to be examined on Coach, Club Coach and Senior Club Coach courses,
arranging high level courses, looking at syllabus changes for the new UKCC,
revising the Code of Practice and of course, arranging speakers for the
technical conference. |

Trampolining Coach Education Development Plan 2002-2005 Cathy Page Aims – to increase the number of coaches by increasing the
number of tutors at all levels, but also to increase the understanding/skill
of new coaches. Tutor Training To have at least 4
coach tutor/examiners per region by 2005 – SE, EM, Y, WM,W, SW all do not
have 4 trampoline tutors as yet. To have at least one Club coach tutor per region –
only WM without. Coach Training New coaches – at least 1500 per year – achieved
2003, slightly short 2004. Club Coaches to reach 10% of the coaches trained i.e. 150 in
2003; 170 in 2004; 149 achieved 2003; 159 in 2004. New Senior Club Coaches to increase to 80-100 in the
next 2 years; not achieved. IPC course to run Nationally alternate years depending
on demand; 1 run so far. Resources 2003 – review Code of Practice by June – achieved July 2003. ·
Print Senior Club Coach manual by April – achieved summer
2003 ·
Complete HPC and combine with teachers resource 2003 – continued summer
2003 ·
Review Club Coaches Resources 2004 ·
Prepare tutor/examiner resource book – draft dome 2004 ·
Exam papers under constant review ·
Revise Coach Log Book by June 2003; Club Coach log book by Dec 2003 – both achieved by
Dec 2003 Links Link decisions from Coach Education Committee into
GymNews/GymNast – achieved after most meetings. Link Proficiency Scheme closely to Coach/Club Coach
– information
incorporated into resource pack for Coach Link IPC training
closely with Squad training. Administration Plan the calendar in each region for the whole year
to allow Club Coach, Senior Club Coach and HPC development. Address the Accidents, which are reported to see if
modifications need to be made to the Code of Practice – not done, no
information on accidents forthcoming from insurers. |
Seminars Held Coaching Seminars at HPC/IPC level Nationally
and encourage Regional seminars at Senior Club/Club and Coach level. 2003-05;
Coaching
Seminar at HPC/IPC achieved Jan 2004; and Jan 2005; NW Region 2004. Development of Assistant Coach Most BG disciplines are going to have to develop a
grade similar to Coach. We will be developing an Assistant Coach. Put on standby
till after National Coaching Certificate sorted. BG Code of Points cont. from Page 2 Assistant CJP 19.1 & 24 In individual competition there is no
assistant to the CJP. In BG competitions it may be necessary to appoint an
assistant chair where the trampolines are in one line of three/four panels and
it would be unfair to ask a Chair of Judges to walk round all the trampolines
to get to their place at the far bed. In synchronised
trampoline competitions an Assistant Chair of Judges will sit beside the
difficulty judges. The Ass. CJP will assist the difficulty judges and
check the pair in synchro performs the same elements at the same time. The
ACJ will also observe the far bed for penalties at the end of, or during the
routine. Duties of the CJP 20.13 decide about
penalties (12.2). 20.14 decide before the end of a round, when
approached by a team coach, gymnast or judge, about obvious numerical errors
in the calculation of difficulty, or numerical errors concerning execution or
synchronisation scores. 20.10 inform the synchro judges of additional
deductions if a synchro pair does not make the same landing. If one gymnast in the synchro pair stops and the
other makes a small jump, the chair shall decide: if the gymnasts did not
perform the same landing (i.e. both do an out-bounce or both stand still,
this would merit a 0.2 points deduction by the synchro judges) or the gymnast
performing the small jump has an end of routine deduction for an uncontrolled
finish. At Grade 1 Competition (Men’s/Ladies) only First Routine (Compulsory) In the first
routine (compulsory) the routine will carry a difficulty mark for 2 (two)
specific elements within the routine. These must be asterisked by the gymnast
or coach on the competition card. In the first routine all elements shall be
different and shall have at least 270º somersault rotation |
%: 01569 766074 Email: john@jbeeton.wanadoo.co.uk
Missing an element in this routine (e.g. missing a
somersault out) 1.0 point deduction. Repeating an element in this routine (e.g. two
elements the same) 1.0 point deduction. Not performing the elements in the written order 0.2
points (in total NOT per change) [all the above deductions will be from each
execution judge] Second Routine (Voluntary) If a gymnast repeats one or both of the
elements from the first routine, which they asterisked and performed
in the first routine, they will not receive the difficulty mark for
these elements in the second routine. (E.G. you only get the difficulty mark
for those specific skills once). Final Routine Gymnasts may repeat any of the elements performed in
the first and second routine. The finals will be done in reverse order of merit
from the first two rounds with scores being zeroed. (I.E. all
competitors in the finals start with a zero score from the previous rounds). Lofer John Beer Travel: For those travelling from Stanstead all was fine
with the plane being on time. The delegation was joined at Stanstead by
Zoltan just returned from Hungary. On arrival in Salzburg collection of the
Mini-buses was easy with all paperwork ready. The journey to Lofer
took about one hour with the rain in Salzburg turning to snow as we climbed
towards Lofer. On arrival Richard Simons met us, gave us the room
allocation (all the rooms in the building were full and some of the ski team
had to be found other accommodation) followed by a meal. The return journey was equally easy with the only
drawback being we had to leave at 0600 hrs. The centre staff did provide
breakfast for us before departure! Accommodation The building being
an old hotel was well suited to large groups. Most rooms were en-suite and
were well appointed. We were given a double and triple for the girls, a
single and a quad for the boys and two doubles and two singles for the staff.
The boys and one staff (me) did not have en-suite but shared facilities. The
building contained a large dining room, an athlete’s lounge, a medical room,
meeting room, sauna, gym and computer facilities. Very similar to the Olympic
camps may have attended. Training: Every
morning outdoor activities took place that
included |
running, fartlek and other interval training (the
first morning was the exception all the group were taken on a 2½ hour walk up
the mountains, this in itself took some “puff” but was made even more
difficult with all the groups spending the first 1 and ½ hours throwing
snowballs at each other. On all the runs Simon Brevik (the sports
physiologist) used heart monitors to check the performers level of work. Some
of the team worked harder than others because they were not as fit to start
with but over the period all showed a significant improvement. Following the
morning activities, two-hours in the gym consisted of weight training and
circuits (all set and monitored by Simon). For two days in the first week,
and one in the second, we travelled to Rif (just outside Salzburg) to
use a trampoline. This was used as part of a circuit training course (it was
felt some trampolining was required to prevent the performers timing from
suffering, nothing technical was done, only power work) emphasis was on
stamina throughout the body as opposed the strength (as this was being done
in Lofer). We were due to swim on each visit to Rif but due to problems at
the centre this was not possible. We did however manage to swim in the second
week in a pool in Kitzbule. All activities were made more difficult due to
the altitude and all felt very tired after each session. On Friday 7th
and Monday 10th the group were taken skiing for the day. Most had
never skied and found it very hard to start with, but all learnt to one level
or another. Skiing was the most difficult exercise for all, as far as
cardio-vascular fitness was concerned. It was also very demanding on the
muscles of the legs and trunk, thus benefiting the team in many ways. It was
also an excellent team building exercise as all were faced with the same
challenge and all helped each other, mixed with their natural competitive
spirit. At the end of each day the sauna was available to relax the tired and
sore muscles. All the team were given two half days off with no
planned activities. Should anyone require a full timetable of activities
I can make one available. Medical Support: Roz the Physio was in great demand at the beginning and
end of each day, not finishing until 11.00 some days. The original list
included two Physios but only one came. I believe this was a mistake and two
were needed. With 20 performers all needing treatment Roz did a fantastic
job. We had no serious injuries, only a few strains, pulls and bruises. None
prevented the performers from attending all training sessions, though some
sessions were attended for those injuries, done in consultation with Roz,
Simon and myself. Conclusion: A very worthwhile exercise, with what I hope will be
performers who start the season very fit and strong and continue to improve
(Simon has set programmes for all and will be monitoring them every six
weeks) up to the World Championships. The advantage of such a camp are many
but with a god start on fitness early will allow longer and better training
from the outset. One interesting point raised by Zoltan was, after last
year’s camp, he found less had colds and the like during the following year. |

International Age-Group Competitions (FIG IAGCs) The first of three trials for these competitions was
hosted by Phoenix Flyers on Saturday 22nd January, alongside
a Grade 2/3 competition, with 67 Grade 1 competitors trialling, 45 Grade 2
and 37 Grade 3 competitors. To facilitate such big numbers the competition
followed the same format used at the David Ward-Hunt competition, with
one DMT being used for warm-up, and 2 panels judging the competitors on a
second DMT. The competition took slightly longer than planned
with the last pass ending at just after 5pm, one hour later than scheduled,
but I think that everyone would agree that the competition ran very smoothly. My thanks must go to all of the judges who performed
an amazing job. Congratulations to Andrew Freeman who scored
the highest form score of 29.4 (9.8s without difficulty) and Philip Dodson
who competed the highest difficulty pass 8.0, and the highest score for a
pass 36.3 (9.7w with 7.2 difficulty). A total of 19 competitors met the minimum criteria
for the FIG IAGCs. However, only one competitor (Philip Dodson – Salto) |
Met the criteria for the Senior Team. Full results and the current ranking are
