The insurance limitations on trampoline usage went into effect on July 1st, 2019

No, there will not be an option to purchase additional insurance coverage for the use of trampolines in drop in, birthday parties, or drop-in day camps.

One-time non-members are not permitted to use trampolines.

The Gymnastics BC insurance policy will no longer permit trampoline use during unstructured programs, including birthday parties, drop-in sessions, and drop-in day camps

Trampolines may be used in structured recreational and competitive programs under proper coaching supervision, providing all insurance requirements are met.

Structured programs are defined as regularly scheduled programs occurring over multiple weeks or multiple days in one week that teach progressive skill development.

Trampolines are defined as any rebounding apparatus that uses any form of bed-type surface, attached to a frame by springs or bungee cords; this includes, but is not limited to, competition trampolines, backyard trampolines, mini-trampolines, double-mini-trampolines, tumble tramps and fitness trampolines.

Yes, inflatable devices (such as ‘air tracks’) are permitted.

When the trampoline limitations apply, covering a trampoline device with a mat or air track still does not permit you to use the trampoline device, for rebounding or non-rebounding activities.

Structured recreational programs (considered regularly scheduled programs over multiple weeks or multiple days in one week that teach progressive skill development) may use trampoline devices, however this area of programming comes with a liability sub-limit of $500,000 per occurrence with an annual total combined limit across all Gymnastics BC member clubs of $1,000,000 (recommended coverage is minimum $5,000,000).

All programs that use a trampoline must follow the same rules.

Competitive Trampoline Programs:

All competitive trampoline programs must be taught by a NCCP Level 2 Trampoline certified coach. There are no exceptions.

Recreational Trampoline Programs:

NCCP Foundations Trampoline trained coaches can teach non-inverted skills, if they are *indirectly supervised by a NCCP Level 2 Trampoline certified coach.

NCCP Level 2 Trampoline trained coaches can teach inverted skills and supervise other groups until December 31, 2019. As of January 1, 2020, they will have to be indirectly supervised by a NCCP level 2 Trampoline certified coach.

NCCP Level 2 Trampoline certified coaches can teach inverted skills on the trampoline and indirectly supervise other coaches.

If a club does not have a NCCP Level 2 Trampoline certified coach (or trained until December 31, 2019) in the gym, then trampolines are not permitted. They can be coaching their own group, but must be aware and able to observe the activities taking place on the trampoline devices they are supervising. Coaches (NCCP) trained or certified (any level) in Artistic Gymnastics CANNOT teach or supervise recreational trampoline programs. This includes coaches who are Artistic Foundations, Comp 1, Comp 2, Level 3 or Level 4.

Trampoline used in any Artistic Competitive or Recreational programs:

NCCP Foundations Artistic trained or certified coaches are not certified to teach any skills on the trampoline (including non-inversions).

NCCP Artistic Comp 1, 2 or 3 (or Level 2, 3 or 4 under the old NCCP) certified coaches with a minimum of Gymnastics Foundations Trampoline trained status (or the Level 1 Trampoline Technical course under the old NCCP), can use the trampoline as a teaching tool (for single saltos and aerial skills to supervise a group doing non-inverted skills).

This requirement is applied to all programs; recreational, developmental, competitive or interclub–in artistic, trampoline or any other gymnastics discipline-based program

NCCP Foundations Trampoline trained coaches can teach non-inverted skills, if they are indirectly supervised by an NCCP Level 2 Trampoline Certified coach.

NCCP Level 2 Trampoline Trained coaches can teach inverted skills, if they are indirectly supervised by an NCCP Level 2 Trampoline certified coach.

NCCP Level 2 Trampoline Certified coaches can teach inverted skills on the trampoline and indirectly supervise other coaches.

NCCP Foundations Artistic trained or certified coaches CANNOT teach trampoline.

NCCP Artistic Comp 1, 2 or 3 coaches must be supervised by a Level 2 Trampoline Certified coach in order to teach skills on trampoline (even if the trampoline is only used as a training aid for artistic programs).

Structured programs: These are regularly scheduled programs occurring over multiple weeks or multiple days in one week that teach progressive skill development. If an activity is run as a structured recreational program and all policy requirements are adhered to, trampolines may be used.

Unstructured programs: These are programs that do not fit into the ‘structured programs’ category. Unstructured program classes may or may not be irregularly scheduled or attended by participants. Unstructured programs do not teach progressive skill development. Examples of unstructured programs include (but are not limited to): drop-ins, and birthday parties.

Yes, clubs are liable if an above noted participant uses the trampoline. It is the duty of the club to make sure that these areas are off limits to participants and to ensure proper safety is met and protocol is being followed.

No; if they are attending the facility as a birthday party participant, the insurance limitations on trampoline usage still apply. s.

A drop-in day camp is unstructured and does not teach progressive skill development

Yes, if the field trip is run as a structured recreational program and all requirements are met, then use of trampoline devices is permitted. A field trip is a group that attends a GBC member club facility to receive introductory gymnastics training.

A cross-training activity involves sporting user groups such as skiers, hockey players, snowboarders, wake boarders, divers, etc. that utilize the facility of a full member club by way of a gym facility rental to enhance their training. GBC full member club coaches are not permitted to deliver any instruction.

A drop-in day camp is unstructured and does not teach progressive skill development.

A gymnastics camp takes place over multiple days in one week and is a structured gymnastics training camp progressing on skills.
