Competition with T&T
Athletes can begin competing as early as four years old and at level one. Once they reach level 5 or higher and score high enough (qualifying score) they become eligible to compete at the State, Regional, or National level.

Trampoline is the only event from T&T that is currently in the Olympics, but all four events are in World Championships.Your athlete is required to compete in all events until they reach level eight on all three. At this point, they are allowed to make a choice and continue with all three or pick the two they prefer.

What is T&T
Trampoline & Tumbling (T&T) is simply a version of gymnastics, but only involves tumbling and the trampoline. It is similar to how artistic gymnastics and rhythmic gymnastics are different versions of the sport. T&T has picked up in popularity in recent years, leading to a surge of competitors in the sport and interest in its competitions.

Elements of T&T

Trampoline and Tumbling consists of four events; trampoline, synchronized trampoline, tumbling, and double-mini.
There are 3 different catagories in the Sport of T&T
