Bouncing the holidays away!!

I love the summer holidays, it feels great to be able to do whatever you want whenever you want. One of my favorite things to do is go trampolining. not the kind where everyone is doing triple front flips and double back flips but when you just bounce around playing dodge ball, basketball and jumping off trampolines into foam pits.

There are 3 trampolining parks that I have visited, spring city, velocity and jump nation. I have really enjoyed all three of these places and I'm glad to hear there are plans for another one to be built more locally to us. There are benefits to all three of these parks. Spring city is the closest to us and has basketball, a large trampolining area, an air bag, and is particularly child-friendly as the younger bouncers are required to wear bibs, warning others to be more careful around them. Jump nation has one of the biggest foam pits and the trampolines are bouncier than the others, it also has an area that is just for younger children so that they cannot be hurt by others. Finally velocity, this is my favorite, as well as a foam pit and basketball the staff are really friendly, one of the things they do is have organised games of dodgeball.



Dodgeball  is originally an American game that has become more and more popular in England over the years. It is traditionally played on a hard surface but has recently been adapted to be played on trampolines, this makes the game more challenging and energetic, and a lot more fun. The staff organises the game splitting those who want to play into 2 teams. If there is to many people participating they make sure everyone gets a go. They then begin the game and continue to referee making sure everyone is playing fairly and that the rules are followed, this means everyone is able to have fun playing dodgeball. The staff are very willing to have fun and participate in the game making the experience more enjoyable for everyone.



It is advisable to book velocity beforehand online, as it is very popular it is often full.
