Trampolining is brilliant fun. Children love it, and even the adults can confess their enjoyment from the activity. The best way to get a massive grinning face from a child? Get them on a trampoline!
But did you know that trampolines can also offer wonderful benefits to children’s health and development. At Bounce Sheffield we understand that educating children is incredibly important, this is why we aim to provide a fun creative space to allow children a perfect environment to develop.
The following will outline the amazing benefits of trampolining to parents!
1. Co-ordination and Motor Skills Development
Although advanced level of co-ordination and motor skills can come naturally to many kids, there are also many children who struggle to achieve this. In fact, a major benefit of trampolining is that it can help these children that suffer from delayed development or coordination skills.
Bouncing on a trampoline creates a consistently shifting center of gravity and to compensate your children will adjust their position. This combination of bouncing, concentrating and maintaining balance helps children to improve their motor skills, co-ordination and balance.
2. Boost Children’s Self-Esteem
Have you noticed your child is perhaps withdrawn or a little wary in their nature? They could be suffering from self-esteem issues. Low self-esteem can mean that children lack the confidence to try new things and often doubt their own ability.
Self-esteem is incredibly important because it is what gives children the confidence to try new things. Good self-esteem can result in children having a more enjoyable experience in their school life and at home.
We encourage children to gain confidence by achieving a bigger bounce! With time and practice, children will improve their self-esteem on a trampoline by facing their fears and being proud of their bouncing. This confidence will then translate into their life outside the park.
3. Improves Children’s Posture
Trampolining doesn’t just improve motor skills and increase self-esteem. It also creates a foundation for future growth by improving posture.
Good posture is incredibly beneficial for children, with improved posture correlating with improved productivity. By holding their bodies in the correct position, it promotes strong, flexible muscles.
Trampolining is a great way to improve posture as it allows for the strengthening of the leg and back muscles that will allow for the right alignment of your child’s body. Every time you go trampolining, the strength of your child will build up.
4. Developing Social Skills
Nurturing children’s social skills is incredibly important for their development and growth. After all, every parent understands the struggle of getting their children to willingly share and to play with some new friends.
Trampolining encourages the natural development of social skills within children. The environment of a trampoline park means that there are multiple children bouncing at a time. This will encourage bonding and social skills to improve.
Patience. Co-operation. Friendliness. These are the social skills that benefit greatly from being at a trampoline park. This is why Bounce Sheffield offers the best experience for you and your children with its brilliant trampolines.
5. Regular Exercise
Bounce Sheffield is a strong advocate for children participating in more exercise!

What better way to get this physical exercise than having great fun on the trampoline! Bouncing and jumping offers a good time and great exercise.
6. Promotes Independence
We understand parent’s concern for their children when they go to a trampoline park. This worry for you child is natural. However, it’s important to remember that kids are more coordinated and supple on a trampoline than most adults. They are very adaptable and brilliant at trying new activities.
Allow your child to gain greater independence. It’s a fantastic skill to promote and it gives the child a confidence boost as they will feel a sense of achievement.
Springboard your child into a healthy life by promoting these skills with trampolining.
7. Learning What It Means to Succeed
Trampolining nurtures success. As well as promoting independence, Bounce Sheffield is the best place to teach a child that they can succeed.
Showing a child they can be successful is a great way of widening their future prospects. They begin to see life differently. Promoting this success can begin with the regular use of a trampoline park.
Not every jump they complete will be successful. They will fall. They will stumble. But getting up and trying again will make the success even sweeter.
