British Schools National Finals 2012 :By Richard Olive Hothi
National Championship Finals 2012
Half past six Saturday morning we got up to get to Polegate train station, the tickets were booked so we got on the train. There were quite a few stops on the way to Brighton and again to Reading where we changed again for Bristol.
When we finally arrived there was a sense of relief, we looked around for a while then we set off walking to our hotel. We had walked quite a distance from the train station into the centre of Bristol where our hotel was. We booked in (our keys were cards), then found our room and dropped off all our luggage and then went for a look around the shops etc. We went to the well known Bristol Suspension Bridge, it was amazing, it was a giant bridge over a huge gorge and the suspended bridge moved when weight went over it. We were able to walk on both sides the view was amazing. We had dinner in the beefeater grill restaurant attached to our hotel, it was really good then it was finally time to go to bed (except my sister would not be quiet) finally in the end everyone in the room went to sleep.
In the morning we woke up early again about 7’0’ clock to get ready and have breakfast the breakfast was really good, we got a taxi to the Bristol City Sports Centre where the competition was held. We needed to find every one and get ready for when I was competing.
Before we did our routines and practices we all marched on in rows to music led by flag bearers which was fun. Ben Harmer and Aaron Sharp were in the first flight of competitors and me (Richard Olive Hothi) Sam Avery and Bob Sandalls were in the second flight of competitors round about 12 o’ clock. We had 20 minutes of warming up (round about 4 goes) and then we all sat in competing order. I was last to compete at number 29 first we all got a controlled warm up and a one touch, when it got to number 29 I was nervous, but I went round the trampolines and preformed. I was doing really well until half way through when I came out of my backdrop half twist to feet and I landed on one foot I had over rotated so there was nothing I could have done. I only got scored out of 7 instead of 10 which was really bad, then I went on to my voluntary routine and I did pretty well on that one, apart from the end where I over rotated again and just hung as I did my tuck jump front summersault. When it was all finished we marched out again and stood for the National Anthem our names were called out so went up to receive our 3rd place team medal and shield for the school I came 8th individually which wasn’t that bad but mistakes happen and I have learned from it. This was a weekend at the National Finals in Bristol 2012

What is happening over the next few months at Jump
2012 Message from Karen
2012 is a very important year for sport in the UK and all over the world. I would like it to be a special year for Jump too. We have been entering many more competitions over the past few years and with increasing success.I would like to wish everyone in Jump all the very best in their chosen sports and obviously with special emphasis on gymnastics / trampoline.
If you have decided that competitions are not for you then the club offers so much more. With the clubs love of performing a special British Olympic themed show (something we will never got to do again) is being planned and with its ever growing membership of recreational jumpers, the club is thriving and is full of ideas for the future. These include increased mentoring for many of our newly/and as yet unqualified young coaches, judges and members. Good luck everyone and enjoy 2012 remember:
"Success is no accident it is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all love of what you are doing".
British Schools Success 2011
Local Schools were represented at the British Schools Regional round with major success.
The Regional Round involves Sussex and Kent.
The Zonal round involves joining 5 regions to make 3 Zones from the South of England, London across to Bristol and below.

2008 Results of British Schools National Finals
At the finals of the British Schools National Championships, held in Birmingham on Sunday 9th March, members of J.T.C. were again triumphant. 23 children all members of Jump Trampoline Club, set off to try to improve on last years 7 National titles. The day started at 9am with an U11 Team from Grovelands and an individual Natasha Eldridge from Polegate Primary competing in an event that would last 2 hours. At the same time U13 Girls from H.C.C also started their competition with team captain, Jasmin Eldridge, competing as an Individual as well. Jasmin again showed her strength in her last novice competition before she moves on to elite. The U13 team finished 1st and Jasmin tied first on points, although on count back was 2nd by 0.1 of a mark. The U11 team finished 4th by 0.1, Natasha Eldridge also finished 4th. This was a good result for a nine year old competing in an U11 competition. Next to jump were U15 boys and U15 girls. We had 4 qualified individuals in these sections and two were reigning champions. After two routines Team Captain Stephanie Harvey finished 2nd individual, Nikki Boniface from Willingdon 3rd individual. Boys Captain Sam Killeen regained his title 1st individual in a very close fight and fellow team mate Dean Piggott finished 3rd, there was only 0.4 between the first 3 places. The U15 Boys also regained their national team title while the U15 Girls Team were 2nd. Last of the day were the U19 girls team from Sussex Downs and Simon Medhurst as an individual from H.C.C. His competition was unfortunately decided in the first round when he failed to complete his compulsory routine but his voluntary was the 3rd highest in his competition. The U19 Girls finished a close 4th again by 0.1. The total of 8 medals won by 23 children is made even more special when you recognise over 4,000 children from England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales started the competition.
