Ellie got involved in trampolining when she realised that the boys at the club were fit and worth checking out! When the coaches started to realise she was also interested in trampolining, she was invited to compete for Sussex Martlets and has remained with the club ever since.
In addition to squad coaching, Ellie coaches sessions at Worthing Leisure Centre from toddler through to adult and those with additional needs. You may catch her on the odd occasion showcasing her talents!

Level 2 Coach
I was first invited into the club at a recreational session when I was 10. I was coaching the youth and competing in the Nationals by the time I was 14 and fully qualified BTF coach level 1 at 18yrs.
Due to work commitments and niggly injuries I had to stop but went to the Men’s finals at the London Olympics in 2012 and just wanted to get back on! 3 years on and I have decided although I don’t want to wear a leotard any more I do still want to be involved in the club that gave me so much.
