THE ASSOCIATION

Welcome to the World’s First

Freestyle Trampoline Association!

The Freestyle Trampoline Association (FTA) is an organization of like-minded individuals and athletes in the trampoline industry who embrace the Freestyle element of sports. We have created an official community that provides a platform for athletes who want to express themselves in unique ways.

The FTA has officially completed its restructuring process and now operates with a full executive team, an expanded Board of Directors, and a newly launched FTA Advisory Committee of 15 members made up of athletes, parents, brands, judges, and industry leaders. Together, these groups bring well-rounded expertise and community insight to help guide the FTA’s growth and decision-making. With this structure, the FTA is now positioned to scale sustainably and deliver on its long-term vision for the global freestyle community.

THE FACTS

Freestyle Trampoline is the ‘new’ extreme action sport!

Traditional Trampoline has been around since the 1940's with the first World Championships in 1964. Since then, trampoline has had its ups and downs, but was accepted into the Olympics in 2000 thanks to the efforts of people like George Nissen, the inventor of the modern day trampoline. Freestyle Trampoline focuses on the wider spectrum of skills that are physically possible and includes not just difficult skills, but creativity as well.

Here at the FTA we encourage athletes to explore what their body and mind can do on a trampoline by experimenting in a very strategic step-by-step manner taught at our educational seminars. Through this creative learning process, Freestyle Trampoline athletes can unlock an infinite amount of skills.

We focus on helping athletes use trampoline to discover themselves and what makes them unique. These days, many professional acrobatic athletes are starting to turn to Freestyle because they see the limitless options available.

THE MISSION

It is not about just throwing crazy tricks,

it's about being unique!

The FTA is taking a firm stance regarding the future of professional trampoline. In no way do we oppose the Olympic stream or traditional platforms, in fact, we encourage all Freestyle athletes to follow many of the conditioning protocols and training steps, however, we envision all trampoline athletes working together to enhance the sport and offer another option to the young athletes trying to discover their place in the world of Extreme Acrobatic Sports.

Our Association will offer our members and the audience who attends our events a new, exciting format where the athletes can be recognized, not just for their ability but for their unique individual style. Our aim is to create an Association that revolutionizes the acrobatic market in a way that has never been done before.

We will do this through the following mechanisms:

√ Provide a platform for all freestyle acrobatic enthusiasts
√ Allow for unique individual expression and style
√ Create revenue generating options with a business model

√ Listen to the suggestions of our members and be all-inclusive

√ Made for Athletes, By the Athletes

The FTA is also taking a firm stand against bullying, especially online; including hate speech and offensive comments. We also do not allow or condone drug use or alcohol at any of our events. Any athlete showing signs of impairment will be removed from the event.
