A TRAMPOLINE club opened three years ago by a Wellington resident is enjoying plenty of highs.
Accelerate trampoline clubs’ competition squad had an excellent finish to the regional season at the Southwest finals in Bath with all 15 bouncers completing amazing routines, breaking their own personal bests and returning with two gold, two silver and a bronze medal.
The squad has grown from two entering at the end of last season to 17 entries this year. Accelerate is also home to GB junior athlete Jessica Vickery, who will be representing GB in the European championships in Portugal this year.
Jacob Turner said: “I am unbelievably proud of the club and all the squad who worked so hard so get those amazing results in Bath. I would like to thank the whole Accelerate team of coaches, parents and volunteers who make competitions like this possible.”
Accelerate opened its doors to new bouncers after Jacob fulfilled his lifetime dream to open his own trampoline club.
At the age of 25 he is the youngest high-performance coach in the country and is now head coach and director of his own trampoline club.
The club have moved into their second unit, just off the M5 junction towards Willand.
