Kingston Trampoline Academy Producing Future Stars

February 1, 2020

At the Kingston Trampoline Academy, former British trampoline gymnasts and twin brothers, Michael and Andrew Freeman are training the next generation of athletes.

As the sport of gymnastics goes from strength to strength in the UK, with gymnasts like Louis Smith and Beth Tweedle becoming household names, participation in all forms of gymnastics has been on the rise in the past number of years.

The academy, which was founded in 2006 by British Gymnastics Master Coach Sarah Warren-Smith, teaches children the skills of the sport, whether it’s for recreation or competition.
