Tesco's vouchers

We are now collecting Tesco vouchers towards new mats. Please give your vouchers to Linsey, Anne or myself. We are hoping to collect enough for 4 mats. We will need 12,000 vouchers.
You can also enter a competition on the website to win 10,000 vouchers for the club. The address is www.tesco.com/sport and the postcode for Brierton is TS25 4BY

The equipment that we have is very precious and we try to take great care of it. Recently 2 children in the club were using the rig and pulled the ropes out of the pulley. This has cost the club £120 to repair!

Squad training

We had our first squad training today and we had a really good session. Linsey, Jo and me got to coach different people and the kids got to hear a different voice for a change.

We still got moans and groans when we did the floor exercises (tut tut) but if you want to be the best you can be and you want to see those scores go up at competition to make the next grade this is what it takes people!!!

We can start earlier on the floor if you come earlier which I think is a good idea for next time. The rig is a fantastic tool that we use, but is very time consuming, especially getting people in and out of the thing!
The next one is at The Campus in Billingham in a months time, be on your best behaviour if you would like to get picked again.
We will bend over backwards for the ones that bend over backwards. You have to be flexible to do that! HaHa.
Just a little trampoline humour there!.... oh ok I'll go now

Lightfoot

Well done to all those who competed at Lightfoot today all of you did fantastic and we had great results!
A big special mention for Rosie who couldn't make it because of her accident on Saturday. We're all thinking about you and hope you get well really soon. We also loved your Mams suggestion of coming to training and being our very special assistant!!! lol. In the meantime enjoy all the pampering and all those lovely chocolates. If you have any trouble eating them all I'm sure some folks down the club will give you a helping hand!

Monday, March 13, 2006

Well done!

WEll done to Gareth who is now national schools champion and Beth who came still managed 3rd place despite suffering from a stress fracture!

Sunday, March 12, 2006

Schools Finals

Good luck to Gareth and Beth from Sedgefield Springers who are competing in the schools finals today!

Judging course

There is a judging course coming up on Sunday June 4th at Billingham Forum which I have mentioned in the members pack. Anyone from age 15 can do the course. It's really helpful too as it gets you looking at moves closely to spot different faults and in turn help you on moves that you're working on. It isn't expensive.
There is membership, exam fee and the course fees to pay for. If you are already a member you won't need to pay that again and after you have judged at a competition we will refund the course fee.
Not sure of the exact cost but it's approximately £10.00 for the exam, £15.00 membership and about £30.00 for the course.

URGENT!

Unfortunately it has just come to our attention that those who have never competed before MUST register as a new competitor by Feb 19th!!
Usually it's a calender month before the competition date but with February being a shorter month this has possibly had some influence on this change of date. We already know of Ewan who will be competing for the 1st time. Anyone else however, please reply through the blog or by the club phone by 2.30pm 16th of Feb!

Please let us know as soon as possible if you are attending as your place can be given to someone on the reserve list if you can't make it!

Changes and advances

At the moment we are in talks with Sedgefield Springers and Billingham TC about forming a Teesside squad!
Q) What is a Teesside squad?
A) The Teesside squad will be select members from the 3 clubs in the area coming together and training together periodically throughout the year. The criteria for qualifying for the Teesside squad is presently undecided. We will still be competing as 3 seperate clubs but what we want to gain from this is collective knowledge and experience from various coaches and support each other. Many regions including the North have a regional training squad so this is a great way for us all to get together and work hard. All three clubs are relatively new in getting established and although Hartlepool have been around longer many changes have taken place within the last 16 months, so we really are starting over
We are talking with, Jo from Billingham and Kev from Sedgefield about, when, where, how and who. We will keep you posted.
Entry will be by invitation only!

Last nights training

Last night was a little different we planned the training to include a lot of stretching, exercise and strenghening and we had a few grumpy faces because of that.
However what we saw in just over an hour was a huge improvement! By the end of the session so many more of you were thinking about the move you were working on and phasing the move (shape of take off, flight and landing). We are going to do a yearly timetable and plan sessions to include more of this aswell as other sessions specifically geared towards different activities and skills. We hope after thinking about it you noticed a change yourself at the end of last night. The majority worked really hard!
Some are questioning the importance of flexibility, fitness and strength but these things are vital for your success in ANY sport and activity and if these factors are included in training the benefits will come back and most certainly will show in competition scores!

If you come 15 minutes early, we can warm up on the floor before moving on to the trampolines. Some have said that it eats in to class time, but as you can see from reading the paragraph above, this IS part of class time and a very important one.

Wednesday, January 18, 2006

Well done to everyone who competed on Sunday at Washington! It was a great day and we managed to pick up 7 trophies which was fantastic even though the judging has really toughened up! So don't be disappointed if your scores were lower than the last comp as just about everyone is in the same boat. We were proud to bits of all of you!

Saturday, January 14, 2006

Washington competition

Good luck to everyone competing in the graded comp at Washington tomorrow!

Have fun and enjoy it. See you all there.

Judging

Hello everyone, as some of you will know Linsey and I went on a judging validation course last night at Temple Park. The reason they are doing this is because the standard of trampolinig has risen so much the judges are getting a lot tougher. So now all judges need to re-validate once every 4 years after the Olympics.
Some of the rules have changed and it has made it a lot more difficult to qualify for the next grade. The difference in the marks has been around 0.7 so for example if you scored 7.7 from one judge at the last comp you are now likely to receive 7.0! Tough I know, but in turn the standard of bouncing should increase.
This also means FLEXIBILITY is all the more important now especially on pikes as the judges are wanting to see the nose on the knees practically to earn a zero deduction. So bear that in mind when you lot all groan when we make you stretch on the floor before bouncing!!!
We may even have another flexibility competition!

Also some of you may wonder where the 5th trampoline has got to! We are still getting another one but Apollos new tramp hasn't arrived yet so they need ours for the competition. The new date for delivery will be a week on Saturday.
See you all tommorrow night. If anyone is having a real problem getting to Washington on Sunday let us know.

Lisa
