It is the third week for the Monday Bounce programme. Chanelle introduced three new moves for the participants: seat bounces tucked and piked as well as tucked back bounces. This group are mostly quite fit already. We had fun doing the crab, everyone seems comfortable with this, but not me! I have poor upper body strength, and it shows!
For the Saturday Bounce programme, we have two ladies that were with us from the pilot and for them it is week 14. We completed 3 sets of tucked and piked seat bounces as well as some pilates-inspired upper body exercises. These consisted of swinging and balance moves on the trampoline, and are designed to improve pike shapes as well as creating an intense stretch. As our 11am class was very small, consisting of only three participants, we decided to join them on their run after a short somersault workshop. We also did this because the Centre was preparing for a boxing tournament that was held in the afternoon.
We now have three volunteers that are going to be helping out at our club and we were visited by two on Wednesday, Lorraine and Magdalene, and Chloe on Saturday.
I am now in the 5th/6th week of the Schools Sports partnership funded programme for Blackheath Bluecoat, Thomas Tallis, Plumstead Manor and Eltham Hill Schools. Most of these schools are preparing for inter-form competitions in their respective schools and I spent most of the week helping the students with their routines – writing and developing as well as tariffing them. Good luck with your competitions.
Talking about competitions, we are still on the look-out for talent to participate in the London Youth Games on 20th June at Redbridge Sports Centre. We are holding try-outs throughout the month of March. If you can front and back somersault and are interested in taking part in this prestigious event, get in touch with us at the club.
Don’t forget International Women’s Day next week, on Sunday 8th March. Samuel Montagu is hosting a variety of exciting events for women and girls of all ages, including trampolining. Best of all, it’s all FREE! Check out the website for more details.
Have a great week,
Anne-Sonia & Chanelle
