Axis Trampoline Club has a highly motivated and talented coaching team who all work together to ensure everyone gets the most from their trampolining sessions and has fun at the same time. All trampoline coaches are fully qualified and insured through British Gymnastics.
We have a diverse coaching staff with many of our younger trampoline coaches completing their training through the club bringing youth and enthusiasm together with the experience from our older coaches. Our coaches meet regularly to share ideas and ways to progress, discussing new trampoline coaching philosophies and learning from each other. The team works together to provide excellence in trampoline coaching while providing a safe and fun environment to learn trampolining in Bristol.

I started coaching in 1995, first in Pre-School Gymnastics and closely followed by Recreational Gymnastics. I currently hold a level 3 in General Gymnastics and level 2 in Pre-School Gymnastics, and get my buzz when a child of whatever level gives that "I can do it now" smile......Gymnastics should be fun!!

Rosie Scarfe-James Trampoline – UKCC Level 2 Coach |
| I started bouncing at school and then picked it back up at university where I trained to be a coach. I was Secretary of Glasgow University Trampoline Club for two years and so my background is coaching young adults. I was always a recreational bouncer and I particularly enjoy this type of coaching. I believe everyone should have access to this great sport, even if you're not going to be a future Olympian! I particularly enjoy coaching the adult recreational bouncers and occasionally still train myself. | |
