JAX Gymnastics Holds First
Trampoline and Tumbling Competition
in Arkansas
JAX Gymnastics, located at 4101 Richards Road in North Little Rock, hosted Arkansas' first ever Trampoline and Tumbling competition Saturday, February 18. Eleven athletes competed in the Trampoline and Tumbling disciplines: Trampoline, Tumbling and Double-Mini Trampoline. This event marked the first of five competitions that the Arkansas athletes will attend during their first season. The athletes began training for competition last year when JAX Gymnastics started the first trampoline program in Arkansas. During the competition, ten of the athletes qualified to compete in the Arkansas State Competition to be held April 14th. The JAX gymnasts range in age from seven to fifteen years of age.
The sport of trampoline became an Olympic sport in 2000. Similar to gymnastics, competitive trampoline requires athletes to flip and twist as if the laws of gravity don't apply - athletes can reach heights of over 20 feet.
