Val has a passion for working with young people and seeing them progress to achieve their potential.  She has been coaching across the Borough both recreationally and competitively since 2005.  She started coaching when her son got into trampolining and has supported him right the way through to him representing Great Britain at both junior and senior level.  Val is a Level 4 Senior Trampoline Coach, Trampoline Club Judge and has over 20 years experience of working with young people.

Outside of trampolining she has white water rafted Kaituna Falls in New Zealand, paraglided across the South Downs, skydived at Netheravon and more recently completed a freefall abseil down the Olympic Tower in London.

Kirsty was first invited to join the club at a recreational session at the age of 10.  She started coaching the youth and was competing in national competitions by the time she was 14 and became a fully qualified cooach by the age of 18.

Due to work commitments and niggly injuries she had to stop competing but went to the Men’s finals at the London Olympics in 2012 and was inspired to get back on a trampoline! Although she no longer wants to wear a leotard she still enjoys being involved in the club that gave her so much when she was younger.
