SEN Trampoline Events
‘Celebration of Participation’ Events & Competitions
Since 2011, a fully inclusive framework for trampoline participation and competition events has been available from ReboundTherapy.org.
Created by a dedicated team of Rebound Therapy Tutors and Practitioners, this programme makes competitions accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities and additional needs – including those with profound and complex needs.
A Truly Inclusive Approach
These events are designed as both participation opportunities and celebrations of achievement. Everyone can take part – regardless of physical or learning challenges.
Competitions are based on exercises and routines from the Winstrada Trampoline Development Plan, with categories ranging from Grade 1 to Grade 8.
Grades 1 & 2:
Focus on participation and celebration for individuals with profound or complex needs. Physical and verbal support is permitted.
Grades 3+:
No physical assistance, but verbal prompting, signing, and mirroring are welcome at all levels.
