description Ball Out Overview
A ball out is a trampoline skill initiated from contact with the bed on the performer's back, followed by a forward rotating takeoff that returns the athlete to the feet or connects into another skill. It is used to redirect momentum and link back landings with forward somersaulting movement. Because timing, bed contact, and control of rotation are critical, the skill is normally learned through progressive drills under qualified coaching.
help Ball Out FAQ
What is a ball out on trampoline?
A ball out starts with the performer contacting the trampoline bed on the back. The athlete then uses a forward rotating takeoff to return to the feet or connect to another skill.
Why is the ball out useful in trampoline routines?
It redirects momentum from a back landing into a forward somersaulting action. This makes it useful for linking backward and forward skills in a routine.
Does a ball out always finish on the feet?
No, it can return the performer to the feet or connect directly into another skill. The exact finish depends on the routine and the skill that follows it.
Is a ball out the same as a back somersault?
No, the entry is different because the performer begins from contact with the trampoline on the back. The skill then rotates forward, while a conventional back somersault takes off from the feet.
