TRAMPOLINE GYMNASTICS
NATIONAL OPEN EVENT
COMPETITION INFORMATION
2015
INTRODUCTION
Dear Clubs
As Chair of the North West Trampoline Gymnastics Technical Committee I am
pleased to send you an invitation to our forthcoming ‘National Pre Season Open’.
We have put this competition on as a stepping-stone to the NDP and FIG National
Spring Series Events.
Over the past 2 years the NW Trampoline Gymnastics Committee has been held up
as an example of good practice by BG. We endeavour to host an event that mirrors
our efficient & professional regional grading series & welcome you to join us at a
time of the year that will allow your national level athletes shake off any ‘competition
cobwebs’ prior to the 1st spring series event 4 weeks after in Coventry.
We have split the competition in to two sections ‘Elite’ and ‘Development’. Elite is
aimed at those competing at FIG and NDP 8, with the ‘Development’ competition
focused on NDP 1-7. We are also staging the very first mixed &/or same gender
synchronised competition, which we are confident will be both an exciting and
competitive event. DMT will be run as an open event, no criteria or minimums giving
competitors the opportunity to come along and compete any new skills they may
have developed over the closed season.
I and the other members of the NWTGTC look forward to welcoming you all to our
Regional venue in March and hope that you have a great event and a solid spring
series.
Yours in Sport
Stephen Wood
North West Chair
