Judges play a critical role – we need to provide enough judges at competitions, else nobody would be able to have a fantastic time competing!

You don’t have to be a high-level gymnast to judge – anyone can learn! There’s lots of resources available and we can help you practice at training.

Not only will we support your learning, but we also provide financial support to help you get your qualification. With support from the EUSU’s Coaching and Officiating Fund, we fund judging courses in their entirety, meaning you won’t have to pay a thing for a nationally-recognised qualification that you can take anywhere. All of these judging courses are completed virtually, so there’s no need to pay for any travel or accommodation.

Club Judge

This is the first judging qualification you should start with. You’ll learn the basic rules of trampoline competition and how to calculate scores, and you’ll be able to judge routines for horizontal displacement and execution (up to 7.0 difficulty). This will cover you to judge execution and HD at all of our competitions!

County Judge

Once you have your Club Judge qualification, if you want to take this further you can do so with the County Judge qualification. This will teach you the role of a difficulty judge and you’ll be able to a judge difficulty for routines up to 7.0

The above courses are for trampoline only, but we can also support DMT judging courses if you’re interested in that!
