USA Gymnastics has selected two clubs to participate in the first phase of its pilot program to develop trampoline and tumbling in the United States. Mills Gymnastics USA in Southgate, Mich., and the Wendy Hilliard Foundation in New York City have been chosen as the first clubs to become Trampoline Development Centers. The initiative's goal is to incorporate competitive trampoline into the curriculum in gyms across the nation to expand its Olympic pipeline.
"We are very pleased with the interest in this program and the number of clubs that have applied," said Steve Penny, president of USA Gymnastics. "The potential for the Trampoline Development Centers is unlimited, and I believe this program will help grow trampoline into our gymnastics community, as well as result in capable athletes getting into the athlete development pipeline. We are thrilled to announce Mills Gymnastics and the Wendy Hilliard Foundation as our first two partners in this undertaking."
