Southlake Flyers

Trampoline and Tumbling (T&T) competition is the fastest growing discipline within USA Gymnastics. This fun and exciting sport is growing by "leaps and bounds" or should we say by "handsprings and flips". However you say it T&T is a blast! Competition is governed by USA Gymnastics and includes not only trampoline but also power tumbling, double mini-trampoline and synchronized trampoline. These events are contested within the state of Texas, throughout the region, nationally and internationally. Trampoline was also added to the Olympic games in 2000.

The Southlake Flyers are open to both boys and girls from beginning to elite levels.

Little Bouncers (4 to 6 years old): entry/pre-team level for younger kids.

High Flyers: grouped by ability at ages 7 and up.

Extreme Flyers: Optional level kids determined by coaches from High Flyers.

JumpStart: (7 to 12 years old) National developmental program designed to develop the strength, flexibility and basic skills necessary for future success as a competitive athlete within the trampoline and tumbling program.

Participation on the Flyers is determined through an evaluation process. It is not that we want to eliminate anyone who wants to participate, it is that we want the girls and boys who do participate to have the skills, aptitude, attitude, and supportive parents that will allow them to succeed as a member of our competitive T&T Team. You need to attend the evaluation or make arrangement with the head coach.
