NTJC MEMBERS:
Note: This session is reserved for currently certified NTJC Judges.
No new prospective judges may attend this session for certification
The 2026 Congress Judges' Course will focus on Trampoline and Double-Mini. The course will be divided into two sessions. The morning session will consist of reviewing rules and aesthetic deductions. The afternoon session will consist of superior deductions, difficulty, and skill identification. Each session will consist of small group breakouts and activities to facilitate engagement and participation. The small groups will be assigned to create diversity of experience and state representation.
Please note that by attending both the morning and afternoon session of the Congress Judges' Course, the requirement for Trampoline and Double-Mini Recertification will be met for this season. Attending Congress will NOT satisfy the requirement for Tumbling recertification for judges with less than 5 years of experience for the season. If Tumbling Recertification is required, judges must plan to complete that requirement during the annual recertification window in addition to attending Congress. Pre-registering is required, please no walk-ins.
Please bring your rule book, a notebook, and a writing utensil to the Congress course. If you have any questions, please reach out to any members of the NTJC Board. We look forward to seeing you in September!
Thank you!
