Age Restrictions
We invite new members from the age of 4 years and upwards to adult, lessons are organised with age limits in mind where possible.
Due to the nature of Trampolining being a dangerous sport, it is important we take safety very seriously, therefore, some four-year-old children following a trial may well be encouraged to be placed onto the waiting list until they have reached the age of five.

We want to ensure safety for all concerned.
