About the disciplines:
Tumbling
Gymnasts who excel in this discipline combine a high degree of spatial awareness with power, strength, coordination and courage. The gymnast has a 25 metre track on which to perform a series of somersaults and twists. High scoring runs include no less than two double somersaults with additional twisting elements. Tumbling routines can consist of either 5 skills or 8 skills. At KSTP we have a combination of competition rod floors and airtracks for gymnasts to practice and perform their routines on.
Trampoline
Gymnasts perform routines, which contain a variety of twists, bounces and somersaults. Precise technique and perfect body control are the hallmarks of a good routine, with judges evaluating gymnasts on degree of difficulty, execution and flight time. While this is an individual sport, at competitions there is a synchronized event where athletes compete the same routine side by side, aiming to be completely in time with one another. At KSTP we like to use our trampolines as a training aid to assist with aerial awarness, Dmt routine conbinations as well as tumbling transitions and end skills.
Double Mini Trampoline (DMT)
Double Mini is a combination of gymnastics, trampolining and athletics. Similar to the vault apparatus in artistic gymnastics, athletes sprint down a track, before jumping onto the DMT to perform two skills in a row with numerous twists and flips prior to dismounting onto a landing mat. The dynamics of DMT are very similar to tumbling so this piece of equipment has become a handy training tool at KSTP to build power and explosiveness.
