Plymstock School Community Trampoline Competition
Plymstock Community Trampoline Club has recently hosted its first Trampoline Competition. This competition gave children form KS 1 and KS 2 the opportunity to demonstrate the skills they have developed within the trampoline club. All participants needed to successfully complete a series of two routines based on the British Gymnastics Trampoline Award Schemes. All Performances were judged by Senior Trampoline Judges from the China Fleet Trampoline Club.
The level of skill and quality shown in some of the performances was very impressive, making the judges’ job ever more difficult! Medals were awarded to the top three competitors from each category and all competitors received certificates for their fantastic efforts throughout the day.
There were many brilliant performances throughout the day alongside some outstanding ones. Particularly impressive was Joseph Hewitt, a year 2 pupil from Elburton Primary School. Not only did Joseph take the Gold Medal for in his category he also achieved the highest score of the morning against other competitors up to four years his senior. Well Done!
During the afternoon it was the turn of the KS 3 and above competitors. Once Again the Standard was very good. Competitors came from a number of Secondary Schools across the partnership including Ridgeway, Coombe Dean and Plymstock School. Once again the event was judged on the execution of two routines based on the Trampoline Proficiency Awards. Feedback from the judges was that they were highly impressed with the overall standard of the competitors and the way in which the competitors conducted themselves throughout the day.
A well done must go to Peter Adler (Ridgeway) and Josh Wood (Plymstock) who were the only two boys in the competition. Josh and Peter were the only two competitors in their category therefore the battle to take away the gold medal was strong! It was a very close result with Peter Adler finally securing first place. They must both be commended on their sporting behaviour, ending the competition with a ‘congratulatory handshake’ to each other. Well done boys!
Thank you and well done to everyone involved in the day. It was a great success. Hopefully there will be more to come in the future.
