Today we are a diverse group of intermediate players who meet up weekly for doubles games. You will find that we are one of the most friendly clubs around.

I decided to set up this group after returning to London and finding no trampolining near me. I found the activity a lot of fun because although it was a way of keeping fit, it became a lot more for me. Learning new skills really tested my perserverance as a person.
