The event will be staged at the Ashburton Pool and Recreation Centre from the 3rd- 5th April. More than 260 Trampoline Sports athletes from around the country are preparing to travel to Melbourne to attend the 2010 Trampoline Sports Age and Elite Victorian Championships. As part of a nationally recognised competition circuit the event will be staged at the Ashburton Pool and Recreation Centre over the Easter weekend next Month. The event has attracted teams from New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and Western Australia bringing a high calibre of competition to Victoria. Gymnastics Australia has announced that the event will be used to finalise the selection of the National team that will represent the country at the upcoming Pacific Rim Championships.
Event preparations are well underway with a new layout planned due to the exclusion of Tumbling from the competition. It is expected that the absence of a tumbling strip will lead to a cleaner finish to the competition stadium offering spectators are better view of the gymnastics. Gymnastics Victoria is conducting an advanced judging course in the lead up to the event to assist state judges in renewing their accreditation for the beginning of the new judging cycle.
The event will feature male and female athletes competing in Trampoline, Double Mini Trampoline and Synchronised Trampoline across all ages and divisions. Running over the Easter weekend from the 3rd- 5th April this family friendly event offers a spectacular and exciting day out for all.
