The [[1964 Trampoline World Championships|first Trampoline World Championships]] were organised by [[Ted Blake]] of Nissen, and held in London in 1964. The first World Champions were both American, [[Dan Millman]] and [[Judy Wills Cline]].  Cline went on to dominate and become the most highly decorated trampoline champion of all time.

One of the earliest pioneers of trampoline as a competitive sport was [[Jeff Hennessy]], a coach at the [[University of Louisiana at Lafayette]]. Hennessy also coached the United States trampoline team, producing more world champions than any other person. Among his world champions was his daughter, [[Leigh Hennessy]].  Both Jeff and Leigh Hennessy are in the [[USA Gymnastics]] Hall of Fame.

The competitive gymnastic sport of [[trampolining]] has been part of the [[Olympic Games]] since 2000. On a modern competitive trampoline, a skilled athlete can bounce to a height of up to {{convert|10|m|ft}}, performing multiple [[somersault]]s and twists. Trampolines also feature in the competitive sport of [[Slamball]], a variant of [[basketball]], and [[Bossaball]], a variant of [[volleyball]].
