We’ll be running a Christmas fancy dress synchro competition for trampolinists who are 6 years old and over during sessions on Tuesday 8, Wednesday 9 and Thursday 10 December.
This will be a fun activity where children can make up a trampoline routine with a partner and perform it at the same time as their partner on adjacent trampolines. Fancy dress is optional. Entry is £10 per person. The winners will be announced on Thursday 10 December.
Prizes
There will be prizes for:
- The best fancy dress
- The most unique synchro routine (the routine can include play skills such as rollers, turntables and cat twists)
- The most synchronised routine
Additional Rules
* Each synchro routine will need to have a maximum of 10 skills. As in trampoline competition routines, each ‘contact’ with the trampoline counts as one skill. For example, a tuck jump lands on the feet so counts as one skill. A seat drop, front drop and back drop include a body landing plus a landing on the feet afterwards, so count as two skills.
* All synchro pairs will need to check their planned routine with the competition organisers before they start practicing it on the trampolines.
* Any synchro pairs wearing fancy dress will need to check with the competition organisers that their costumes are suitable to bounce in (e.g. that they don’t have zips or buttons that could get caught in the trampoline, or costumes that could obscure their vision). Synchro partners wearing fancy dress need to have similar themed costumes, but they don’t have to wear the same costume.
* If your children are away on 8-10 December, we can arrange for them to perform their routine the week before the competition.
How to Enter
To enter, please email Beth at b.hill@okehamptonflyers.org.uk by 10 November. After we receive all of the entries, we will send you an email invoice with the entry fee.
Anyone wishing to perform synchro routines with two different partners will just need to enter twice and pay two separate entry fees.
Synchro Practices
Due to needing to practice their routines on adjacent trampolines, children who come to sessions that are 1-hour to 1.75 hours long will need to come in to extra synchro practices at 1-2pm on Saturdays at Parklands to get their routines ready for the competition. Due to session timings, they unfortunately won’t be able to practice synchro during their normal weekly sessions.
There will be extra synchro practices on Saturdays 7, 14, 21, 28 November and 5 December at Parklands Leisure Centre at a subsidized rate of £4 per person. Children can attend some or all of them.
As children who attend 2-hour and 2.5-hour sessions at the club already train on trampolines that are set up side-by-side, they will have the opportunity to practise their synchro routines at the end of their normal sessions in the lead up to the competition.
Please email b.hill@okehamptonflyers.org.uk to book any extra practices. We will send you an email invoice for the extra practices.
The competition is a fundraiser for the club and all money raised will go towards new equipment for the club and coaching courses.
We’re looking forward to receiving your entries!
