Proficiency awards
The BG Proficiency Trampoline awards provide the foundation for high quality trampolining which take the gymnast from beginner to competitor through 15 progressive levels.
The awards have been designed by technical experts from the sport of Trampoline Gymnastics and educational professionals of British Gymnastics (the UK National Governing Body) for use in gym clubs, schools and leisure centres and are currently widely used within these environments.
