This Is Not Just Another Training Day

Born To Move was created to help gyms build stronger foundations for children—and the support should not stop once your program launches.

The Born To Move Online Summit gives you and your team continued education designed for the real questions you face in your gymHow do we help parents understand the value of developmental movement?

• How can we  se equipment, such as trampolines, safely and purposefully with young children?
• What does successful Born To Move implementation actually look like?
• How can we better recognize and support sensory needs in class?
• What can we learn from the lived experience of a parent raising a neurodivergent child?
  
  

You will leave with practical insight, renewed confidence, and a deeper understanding of how your program can impact children and families for life.

Trampoline for Babies & Waddlers

Discover how the trampoline can become a powerful tool for supporting early motor development, sensory processing, regulation, and parent-child interaction during the first two years of life. This session will explore age-appropriate trampoline activities for infants and toddlers (3–24 months), safety considerations, developmental progressions, and practical strategies that coaches, instructors, and early childhood professionals can immediately incorporate into their classes. Participants will leave with creative ideas that transform simple bouncing into purposeful movement experiences that build the foundation for future gymnastics participation.
