Pre-Competitive Program (ATDP)
The ATDP program (Alberta Trampoline and Tumbling Developmental Program) is the next level of pre-competitive for ages 7 and up. This program has four levels. In level one, the beginner level, athletes work on the basics of trampoline and tumbling, such as front and back drops, handstands, and cartwheels. As they progress towards level four, they will begin to learn more advanced skills and connections, including front and back tucks, round offs, and back handsprings. In addition to skills training, athletes also spend time on strength and flexibility training to reduce risk of injury, and improve overall performance. This program runs for 2.5 hours, twice a week.
The ATDP program offers the perfect introduction to competition for new T&T athletes. ATDP meets are held 3-4 times a year within Alberta. Here, athletes show their routines to a judge and test their strength and flexibility the physical testing portion. These events are not as much a competition as they are an opportunity for the kids to perform with an audience and other athletes. Once athletes have surpassed the ATDP levels they can move into the provincial level.
The pre-competitive program is a 12 month long program, with the year starting July 1st. However, if there is room, athletes can tryout for the program at anytime. If you would like more information regarding fees, family commitment or to book a tryout please contact us at [email protected].
