Coming up May 1st, 2011 is the SkySurfers Trampoline Team's 20th Annual Trampoline Festival. Every year the SkySurfers Trampoline Team hosts the Trampoline Festival for the students at the gym who want to find out what it is like to be in a real trampoline competition. The students, ranging from levels 1 to level 6 or 7, show off their routines to their parents while a pair of judges, chosen by Head Coach Rich Trimboli, will judge the routine and give it a ranking, gold, silver, or bronze. The athlete is later given the medal he or she deserves and is also given a raffle ticket to earn prizes. Every athlete gets a prize at the festival.
Also, not only do the parents get to watch the students perform their routines, but everyone gets to watch the amazing SkySurfers Trampoline Team perform their routines and favorite tricks in front of the whole audience.
Come to the festival and watch all of our gym's atheletes showcase their talents for everyone to see!

The Visa Championships is a national event in which the top gymnasts from the United States compete against eachother for a spot on the US team to compete in France this November. This year the Visa Championships was hosted in Hartford, Connecticut from August 10th through 14th and it contained the various disciplines of gymnastics like Mens, Womens, Acrobatic and Trampoline. Jeremy and Joshua Cooper both attended this competition and swept the Jr. Elite competition. The boys recieved an amazing gold medal in synchronized trampoline, showing that twins deserve to win first place. Joshua earned the gold medal on Double Mini Trampoline with outstanding passes whereas Jeremy earned the silver right behind his brother. For Individual Trampoline, Joshua made 9th place, an excellent top ten finish. Jeremy suprised the competition by earning himself the gold medal, beating everyone in the Jr. Elite division. Because of their top performance at this competition, the boys both qualified themselves onto the US team for various events. Joshua qualified for synchronized trampoline and double mini. Jeremy qualified for each and every event that he competed, including synchronized trampoline, double mini, and individual trampoline.
The boys are now practicing really hard in order to do well at the World Age Group Championships in France this November. Great job boys on your fantastic performance!

This year the Jr Olympic Natinal Championships was hosted in the amazing city of Virginia Beach, VA. Not only was the weather very hot, but so were the skills of the SkySurfer athletes. Directly after the Elite Challenege competed the lower, but not lesser, levels of the Skysurfers. These specific athletes amazed the crowd with many top ten finishes. On trampoline, Jacob Stewart received 6th place, Julia Gordon received 28th place out of a large 59 other athletes, Matthew Coblish received 9th place, Courtney Martin received 48th place, and Jonah Bonner received 4th place. On the double mini Jacob received another 6th place, Julia received 18th place, Matthew recieved 14th place, Courtney received 6th place out of a whopping 40 athletes, and Jonah Bonner received 3rd place.
The Skysurfers did exceptionally well at this past competition to end most of their seasons for the year, but it is only the middle of both Jeremy and Joshua's season as they are to continue on with their season as they attend the Visa Championships in Hartfort, Connecticut in August.

Trampoline is now an Olympic Sport and we have some hopefuls on our team. However, for the SkySurfers to have a chance to see their dreams come true, your help is needed. 

Funds required to maintain equipment in good condition and money necessary to defray expenses associated with traveling to distant competitions is precious.  If we are fortunate enough to qualify for international competition (2011 Worlds will be in Birmingham, England), the cost per athlete will soar. 

We are a talented group of athletes, but need your financial support to represent Orange County to others. If your organization were fortunate enough to be able to sponsor the SkySurfers, the SkySurfers athletes would be pleased to promote recognition of your business in conjunction with our team.
