The British Gymnastics Trampoline Proficiency Award Scheme has been designed to provide a nationwide personal incentive scheme for all student trampolinists and to encourage natural ability and a sense of achievement. The schemes are all progressive in structure and easy to administer. All of the Awards are based on the concept of completing a number of moves from each level before progressing to the next one.  Every Award consists of different levels of varying ability and has a badge and certificate designated to it. On completion of each level the participant will become eligible to purchase the badge and certificate if they so desire. 

The Trampoline Proficiency Award Scheme has fifteen levels, divided into 3 sections: Levels 1-5 developing foundation skills, levels 6-10 intermediate skills and levels 11-15 developing more advanced skills. A trampolinist who achieves the first ten awards will be eligible for the British Gymnastics Trampoline Medal.

Awards are based on accomplishment of specific routines (see below) and moves designed to improve skills and ability.  The Awards are in recognition of the hard work and effort, as well as the commitment and dedication required to achieve these skills.  By working through the Awards programme, and indication is given on the progression and achievement the student is making.  The Awards are based on set routines and moves that have to be achieved, as set out by the BGA.  The skills are assessed individually and in combination in the form of a routine.  Routines are performed by gymnasts from Award 6 onwards.

These schemes are ideal for meeting National Curriculum requirements. The schemes provide coaches with a structured approach to sessions, whilst building confidence and increasing the trampolinists sense of achievement.  The Proficiency Scheme provides the basis for all British Schools Gymnastics Association organised competitions, thus not only providing an opportunity for all to receive the awards, but also allowing the school or club to enter competitions.
