FIG Academy Working Group for Trampoline Gymnastics

LAUSANNE (SUI), FIG Office, February 19, 2010: Two days after the conclusion of the meetings of the Academy Working Group for Aerobic Gymnastics, on February 17 - 18, it was the turn of the Academy Trampoline Working Group. Once again, the meeting was held in the FIG Headquarters in Lausanne (SUI). It was the second of a series of meetings of working groups for four different disciplines planned to be held one after another.

The primary purpose of the meeting was to prepare the curriculum, content and resources for the first Level 3 Academies planned to begin in December this year. In addition, the working group reviewed all documents, resources and lectures from the six Level 1 and 2 academies held to date.

Present at the meeting were FIG Vice President Slava Corn (CAN), Nikolay Makarov (RUS) and Christophe Lambert (FRA) (both Vice Presidents of the FIG Trampoline Gymnastics TC), Michael Kuhn (German National Coach), Dr. Keith Russell (CAN) (President of the FIG Scientific Commission), Ulf Andersson (former member of the FIG Trampoline Gymnastics TC), Hardy Fink (Director of FIG Education & Academy Programmes) and Olivia Bille Peña (Manager of FIG Education Programmes).

As is typical of Working Group meetings, once the business items were finished, the rest of the meeting was used as a working meeting to modify the documents, resources and technical manuals for use at academies later this year and beyond and to begin to prepare the Level 3 materials for the first L3 Academy.
