O-Volt is a place where it’s great to grow up! Our latest blog article presented how our facilities and courses promote motor development for Little Jumpers. Now, what about when little ones have grown? Since our mission is to get everyone moving, motor development is possible for the whole family! All it takes is the will to move and surpass oneself! And hop! Let’s get active!
EXPLORE Your Agility
Ninja Course
The primary objective of the ninja zone is to move through a linear course without touching the ground! Clearly, this requires minimal motor skills to enjoy the many challenges. Usually, by the age of 8, children can reach several accessories and thus develop muscle tone, balance, and speed. Efficient movement ensures the use of minimal energy, energy that one quickly learns to manage! The padded surfaces allow gripping until the point of fall. Surpassing oneself is guaranteed and motor development for the whole family!
Then, why not transform your young ninja into a gladiator? The gladiator zone allows working on balance and speed. A good friendly battle to settle family conflicts!
EXPLORE Your Impulse
Trampoline
The free trampoline zone at O-Volt is the perfect place to practice impulse. With varied trampoline sizes, the young jumper will have to manage their impulse well for a controlled landing. Hurdle jumps can be practiced between certain trampolines as well as chained acrobatics on the long trampolines. Jumping with both feet at the same time, moving forward by jumping, and keeping knees slightly bent when landing are skills that develop gradually and should not be underestimated.
EXPLORE Your Spatial Orientation
Inflatable Cushion
When impulse is mastered on free trampolines, the next step is jumping onto the inflatable cushion. For the beginner jumper, combining impulse and lateral movement is not so easy. Fortunately, with a little practice, coordination is quickly mastered and you can add a front flip or other breathtaking figures!
Moreover, the inflatable cushion offers the ideal surface to practice spatial orientation. With the speed of propelled jumps on trampolines and the execution of complex figures, the acrobat can easily lose their bearings! A poorly planned landing is much safer on the inflatable cushion than on any other surface. With training, the jumper’s spatial orientation and precision of execution will quickly improve!
