By Jacinda David, Owner, Just Bounce Trampoline

This past weekend, Just Bounce athletes from both provincial and national levels travelled to Kingston to compete in the Third Ontario Cup and Elite Ontario for Trampoline Gymnastics.

“This was the last opportunity for our Provincial Stream athletes to qualify for Ontario Championships” says Jacinda David, Coach and co-owner of Just Bounce Trampoline Club. “All of our Provincial athletes that were trying to qualify achieved the scores needed to advance to Ontario Championships succeeded and will be competing at Ontario Championships this June. Our National Stream athletes have a break in competition now until July when they attend Canadian Championships in Lethbridge” All Just Bounce athletes and families were proud of the results from this weekend. They are eager to get back to the gym and learn some new skills to improve their routines and increase difficulty before the next competition.

“The athletes show that they trust in the process, in their training and their results are proof of their commitment to their long term success” explains Coach Stephen David. Jacinda, Stephen, and the whole Just Bounce community are extremely proud of all the athletes this weekend are excited for what is next to come!
