Trampoline & Tumbling
The gymnastics discipline of Trampoline and Tumbling sometimes referred to as TNT just recently celebrated the 50th anniversary of its World Championships. T&T competition is open to both male and female competitors beginning as young as age 4. Athletes compete in Levels 1 through Elite, based on their skill set. Athletes will only compete against children at the same level, gender, and age. Our national governing body for T&T is USA Gymnastics. Levels 1-3 are developmental levels "Local Team" and Levels 4-10 are considered CEA’s "Travel Team."
There are 4 events in Trampoline and Tumbling: Individual Trampoline, Double Mini Trampoline, Tumbling, and Synchronized Trampoline. Cutting Edge team members will be required to compete in 3 events (Individual Trampoline, Double Mini Trampoline and Tumbling) until they reach level 10. At that time the athletes and coaches may choose to specialize in one or two events. Synchronized Trampoline is only competed at levels 9-Elite. Trampoline and Tumbling does not require that an athlete competes at the same level on all events. This allows for an athlete to progress at his or her own pace.
