The Trampoline & Tumbling Program is pleased to announce the 2009 JumpStart National Team. Athletes ages 7-12 participated in national testing, January 24-25, in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. USA Gymnastics would like to thank those who helped with testing: Bev Lloyd, Crissy LaFollette, Mig O’Hara, Sherry Mulkey, Shaun Kempton, Chauncy Haydon and Mary Swafford, who served as testers; Jeremy Waldridge, who wrote the scoring program; Mitchell & Priscilla Godi and their staff, who hosted the testing in their gym, SSB Kids.
The JumpStart National Team Camp is set for February 19-22 at The Matrix in Huntsville, Alabama. Athletes should plan to arrive in time for the first session at 6:00 pm on Thursday evening, and may depart anytime on Sunday. No activities are planned for Sunday so that athletes may travel that day. Complete information and forms will be e-mailed to the athletes and coaches soon. Participants are responsible for their own travel arrangements. National Travel Systems is available to help with hotel reservations at 888-603-8747.
JumpStart is the talent identification program, used to identify future elite athletes at a young age and provide education for their coaches as they prepare for the eventual move to the highest level.
