Objective

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to perform basic trampoline skills with control and confidence.

Materials and Prep

Materials:

• Trampoline
• Comfortable clothing

Prep:

• Clear the area around the trampoline for safety.
• Ensure the trampoline is in good condition and set up correctly.

Activities

1. Warm-up Bounce: Start with gentle bouncing to warm up your muscles and get comfortable on the trampoline.

2. Straight Jump: Practice jumping straight up and landing in the center of the trampoline with your feet together.

3. Seat Drop: Sit on the trampoline, bounce up, and land on your bottom with your legs straight out in front of you.

4. Knee Drop: Similar to the seat drop, but land on your knees with your feet behind you.

Talking Points

• Remember to always bounce in the center of the trampoline. "Stay in the middle to stay safe!"
• Bend your knees when you land to absorb the impact. "Bend your knees like a spring!"
• Keep your arms out to the sides for balance. "Arms out like an airplane!"
• Practice controlled breathing to stay relaxed while bouncing. "Inhale up, exhale down!"
