BASSETLAW Trampoline Club sent a record-breaking nine finalists to this year's British Trampoline Finals.
And the local young performers played a significant part in a great finals, held at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham.
"The finals are an annual event attracting a large audience," said coach Ray Bevan. "The experiences gained by Worksop's performers this year was second to none."
"Four of our nine competitors qualified through to the televised Sunday Top 8 National Finals."
"It is very good news for them."
Luke Callachan, from Kilton, qualified for the Double Mini Trampoline Top 8, in eighth place, then performed brilliantly in the Top 8 Finals to finish in second place overall.
Abbey Boyle also did well, finishing in fourth place in the Under 13s Female Finals.
The Under 13s team, comprised of Shannon O'Brian, Natalya Boswell and Abbey Boyle, finished in fourth place overall.
The Under 19s member Steph Travis finished in 11th place and Faye Hammond finished 14th place.
Dale Bevan, fresh from winning the Scottish Men's Trampoline and Double Mini Trampoline trophies, qualified through to the Top 8 Finals in fourth place, but later slipped into sixth.
Jake Chattaway also qualified through to the Top 8 Finals in fourth place.
However, he also slipped to eighth place after trying to increase his difficulty score in order to be more competitive.
