104 Use of Trampoline and Minitramp June 1978 • Revised June 2002 The NCAA recognizes that the coaches and student-athletes in selected sports use the trampoline and minitramp for developing skills. The apparent safety record accompanying such use has been good, but the use of the trampoline can be dangerous. Therefore, these guidelines should be followed in those training activities in which student-athletes use the trampoline: 1. Trampolines should be supervised by persons with competence in the use of the trampoline for developing athletics skills. This implies that: a. Fellow coaches, studentathletes, managers, etc., are trained in the principles and techniques of spotting with the overhead harness, “bungee system” and/or hand spotting on the trampoline; b. New skills involving somersaults should be learned while wearing an overhead safety harness. (Exception: Use of the overhead system is not recommended for low-level salto activities such as saltos from the knees or back.) Those GUIDELINE 3f persons controlling the safety harness should have the necessary strength, weight and training for that responsibility; c. Skills being encouraged should be commensurate with the readiness of the studentathlete, and direct observation should confirm that the studentathlete is not exceeding his or her readiness; and d. Spotters are aware of the particular skill or routine being practiced and are in an appropriate position to spot potential errors. Accurate communication is important to the successful use of these techniques. 2. Potential users of the trampoline should be taught proper procedures for folding, unfolding, transporting, storing and locking the trampoline. 3. The trampoline should be erected in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. It should be inspected regularly and maintained according to established standards. All inspection reports, including the date of inspection and name of inspector, should be kept on file. Minitramp The minitramp, while different in nature and purpose from the trampoline, shares its association with risk of spinal cord injury from poorly executed and/or spotted tricks. Like the trampoline, the minitramp requires competent instruction and supervision, spotters trained for that purpose (spotting somersaults on the minitramp differs from the trampoline because of the running action preceding the somersault), emphasis on the danger of somersaults and dive rolls, security against unsupervised use, proper erection and maintenance of the apparatus, a planned procedure for emergency care should an accident occur, and documentation of participation and any accidents that occur. In addition, no single or multiple somersault should be attempted unless: 1. The student-athlete has demonstrated adequate progression of skill before attempting any
