EIGHT children from primary and secondary schools across Cornwall and Devon were taken to the South West Regional Schools Trampolining Championships 2013 at Bristol's City Academy by head coach Anne Dodds in December.

Anne selected the children from the coached sessions at Launceston Leisure Centre and Callywith Gymanastics Centre, Bodmin. The children worked hard, training for months and were well prepared.

The competition was divided into two sections: novice and elite, allowing children from a wide level of experience to compete in front of hundreds of spectators and qualified regional and national judges.
