About
Alton Trampoline Club (ATC) is a Gym Mark accredited club based in Alton, New Zealand. The club provides a safe and enjoyable environment for individuals of all ages and abilities who are interested in trampolining. Whether you're looking to trampoline purely for fun or want to progress to competing, ATC offers the opportunity to do so while being supported by a team of dedicated volunteers.
One of the key aspects that sets ATC apart is its strong sense of community. The club welcomes the help and support of parents, making it a family-oriented and fun place to be part of. In addition, there is a great sense of friendship and support among members at all levels, which is evident during competitions and training sessions alike.
ATC boasts a team of experienced coaches with a wide range of qualifications and expertise. They are able to cater to all grades and abilities, ensuring that every member receives proper guidance and instruction. The club also promotes the development of its members by offering opportunities to become coaches and judges, including to enthusiastic parents who want to get involved.
As a Gym Mark accredited club, ATC is recognised by British Gymnastics and its partners as being safe, effective, and child-friendly. This accreditation reflects the club's commitment to providing quality training, welfare, support, and facilities.
At each session, members are divided into groups based on age and ability. The aim is to have a maximum of five children per trampoline bed, with one coach assigned to each group. This structure allows for personalised attention and consistent coaching for the children.
ATC encourages all of its members to compete, offering opportunities for both local friendly competitions and regional/national events. This inclusive approach enables beginners to be inspired by more advanced athletes, as they witness the level of skills they can aspire to.
The club operates during school term-time, with a reduced number of sessions during school holidays. Priority for holiday sessions is given to members who are competing in regional/national events. Additionally, ATC offers Double Mini-Trampoline (DMT) sessions for experienced gymnasts who want to explore this exciting trampoline activity.
