Putting the bounce back into the East Region
Squad & Calendar updates
Squad Update
Following the Junior & Youth Squad selection announcement, there remain a few spaces unallocated. It is the intention that the squad only operates with those capable of working to a high level, but it is entirely possible that some gymnasts may have recovered from injury, resolved move issues or are worthy of consideration now for other reasons. If any Coach has such a gymnast, they are invited to submit a request for review to the squad coaches (squad@trampoline-east.org), stating why they feel they should be offered a space. Squad coaches will hope to view such applicants at the forthcoming grading.
Calendar Update
With the Tracks 2000 League now having released their confirmed dates and handbook for 2015, the year appears to have changed shape such that a previously advertised Open Competition in May now clashes and so will be deferred. The updated calendar linked below aims to provide an overview of all competition & squad events (as well as main school holidays).
A number of dates have been highlighted as being Potential Regional Open Events; please note that these are not committed dates as yet and are dependant on clubs offering to host one – any such will be recorded on the region’s Google Calendar.

It is understood that the National League organizers are about to launch a National League for Regional Competitors.

These documents supersede any issued previously. Start times for most groups have had to be changed due to the large number of manual entries that took more time to process than could reasonably have been expected. The groups are in the same order, however, so in most cases it will just be a bit later. Flights have also changed so some competitors may have been moved to an earlier flight.

Regional Squads Update – 2015
Regional Squads Update – 2015
This is to announce a few changes to the previous updates:
- Due to unforeseen circumstances we are now no longer able to hold the Opportunity Test Day for the junior squad on 11th January – this event is now being moved to 25th January. If you have previously confirmed attendance on 11th can you please re-confirm your availability for 25th.
- In light of this fortnight’s delay in the Test Day, we will no longer be holding the first 2015 squad day on 1st February, but will introduce another date to replace this later in the year. The first squad day this year will now be 1st March.
- There have been fewer names nominated for the junior squad than we had hoped, indeed some clubs have not nominated any, we are, therefore, opening the junior squad up to another year group so the junior squad will now be for those aged 8 – 12 (i.e. under-13 age groups) and the youth squad those aged 13 – 18 (i.e. over-13 but under-19 age groups), and will be a little more flexible on numbers (but not quality).
- The previously issued Trampoline Dates 2015 download, has therefore been changed in accordance with the above.
All other aspects of the previous announcements remain unchanged.
Regional Squads – 2015
Regional Squads – 2015
Further to the recent announcement about selection for squads in 2015, we can now confirm bookings have been made to hold Junior & Youth trampoline squads on the following dates:
- 1st February,
- 1st March,
- 24th May &
- 21st June.
These avoid all previously announced competitions (see – Trampoline Dates 2015) so should ensure optimum levels of attendance. The venue will be Brentwood School Sports Centre and the sessions will be lead by Jack Kelly & Paul Kitchen.
Since ECGA are no longer subsidising these events, they will need to be self funding, and so whilst the cost per squad has been set at £15 per performer, this will be reviewed as the squads occur to ensure that no loses are incurred.
National Call for Judges
British Gymnastics are asking regions to nominate keen judges to officiate at the Spring Event Series next year which are being held:
- 11th – 12th April at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry , and
- 13th – 14th June at the EIS Sheffield.
The minimum level required is County Judge (Cycle 13), and BG’s selection will prioritise higher ranked officials although, will also, attempt to develop keen judges where possible. Accommodation and travel expenses are covered by BG.
If you are interested in this opportunity please provide your details to Andrew Jones by email to andrewrjones@gmail.com as soon as possible.
Eastern Schools’ Championships
The Eastern regions first round of the British Schools Championships 2014/15 is being held at Hitchin Boys School, Herts SG51JB on Sunday 30th November. Available to download are:
New rules
This year age groups are slightly different (Under 11 – years 6 & below, Under 14 – years 7-9 and Under 19 – years 10 & above), and, at long last, BSGA have introduced an Intermediate Group so that basic club kids stand a chance of getting somewhere. There are also 2 disability levels this year, Novice & Elite. The qualification for different levels are:
- Novice – those who have not competed in a BG Trampoline Comp above grade G or NDP1,
- Intermediate – those who have not competed in a BG Trampoline Comp above grade F or NDP4,
- Elite – those who have competed in a BG Trampoline Comp above Grade F or NDP4.
Equipment & Facilites
There will be a range of trampolines from 13mm to 4x4mm allocated to panels, please put in your covering email if any of your elite performers are unable to compete on a 6x4mm or 4x4mm trampoline. If you have any equipment concerns please don’t hesitate to contact the Organizer, Claire Watt.

Sponsorship in memory of Steve Locke – Update
Some of you may recall Dan Frost, a long-time competitor in the region, who has now moved to Portsmouth for his studies in engineering. Planning to enter the Great South Run and pondering on who to run for, he heard of Steve’s tragic death and, having fond memories of him as a judge, decided to run for Macmillan Cancer in Steve’s memory. If you would like to sponsor Dan, his sponsorship page is http://www.justgiving.com/
UPDATE
Because the Great South Run clashes with the David Ward Hunt competition in Gillingham, Dan has decided to complete the run on a different day so he can still compete in Gillingham. Please keep your sponsorship coming.
