More than 400 competitors will register for trampoline and tumbling’s top event in Tulsa March 30 through April 1. Held at the Tulsa Convention Center, the three-day competition showcases the nation’s best in men’s and women’s trampoline, tumbling, synchronized trampoline and double mini-trampoline. 

Events involve athletes using trampolines that can propel them up to 30 feet in the air, during which they can perform single, double and twisted somersaults. Tumbling utilizes elevated spring runways that enable athletes to jump at heights more than 10 feet and execute a variety of acrobatic maneuvers. For the double-mini competition, the athlete makes a short run, leaps onto a small two-level trampoline, performs an aerial maneuver and dismounts onto a landing mat.

One man and one woman will represent the United States in trampoline at the 2012 London Olympics. To get there, they must compete in Tulsa.

Children under the age of 8 are free. Tickets are $10 for adults. All-session passes are available for $20. Click here to purchase tickets now, or buy yours at the gate March 30 through April 1.
