Of all gymnastics disciplines, Trampoline gymnasts get the biggest air; thrilling audiences with their high-flying exploits, fully living up to the Olympic Games' "Higher, Faster, Stronger" motto.

 

Athletes use the trampoline to catapult themselves to heights over 10 meters, and without technological devices strapped to the body, trampolining is as close as humans will get to flying solo.

In 1934, an American gymnast named George Nissen, inspired by watching circus acrobats fall onto flexible safety nets and use the rebound to perform acrobatic skills, constructed the first prototype trampoline out of canvas and rubber for inner tubes.

 

Trampolining caught on quickly as a backyard activity and was even used to teach pilots air sense in World War II, and the World Championships in Trampoline was held for the first time in 1964.

Trampoline has been a part of the National School Games since the 1970's. However, it was not until 2016 where Singapore Gymnastics held its first competition for Trampoline.

 

Since 2016, Trampoline Gymnastics has established itself as part of the gymnastics national competition season, and in 2019, Singapore sent athletes to participate in international competition (the World Age Group Championships) for the first time. 4 gymnasts from TrampolineSG were included as part of the delegation.

Members of Trampoline Singapore helped Singapore Gymnastic (NSA) established its Technical Advisory Council and are heavily involved in its judging, coaching and National competition programme.
