Trampoline gymnastics is an amazing discipline to judge. You get to watch competitors perform routines made up of dynamic twists, somersaults and jumps.
This is the first qualification in the judging pathway. Throughout this course you will learn basic aspects of how competitions are run, the roles and responsibilities of a judge, how to judge, and how to arrive at a fair score. Upon successful completion of the course you will be able to judge at club and regional competitions as a member of the judging panel.
Many of our club judges are family members and people who are already engaged with trampolining. Becoming a judge is a great way to get involved with your local club and help in the development of the sport. Anyone interested in trampoline gymnastics is eligible to take this course but you’ll need to be familiar with the discipline.
Any individual that would like to judge as part of the judge panel at club and some regional level competitions.
Each discipline has the age requirement of 14 years old at club level.
Note: In some circumstances if you have previously competed at senior international level you may be able to start the judging pathway at National judge qualification, as you will already possess knowledge of FIG/UEG rules and routine composition. This is at the discretion of the Technical Committee for your discipline and they must be contacted in the first instance.
