Aeroball is a fun, totally unique trampoline-basketball sport. The trampoline basketball game, developed by Don Gordon decades ago, has long been a favorite activity among extreme sports-loving individuals who have had the opportunity to discover it. Until recently, Aeroball was best known as a special attraction at special events, or as a fun fitness game to hold in the backyards of those who just couldn't get enough. Aeroball Sports, though, as an actual business, with its own location based in Tucson, AZ was the brainchild of Ron and Jana Holland, owners of SWAT Strength Wellness Athletic Training, a personal training and fitness company in Tucson, Arizona, who saw real potential in the game to not only complement what they were already doing with their fitness and personal training clients-but also as a way to introduce children to the benefits of exercise and physical activity-by using the sports game to teach healthy living habits. Always looking for new ways to incorporate fun fitness activities into the lives of personal training clients, Ron and Jana Holland, owners of SWAT Personal Training, found Aeroball (almost by chance) -and quickly realized that Aeroball was an innovative, new fitness modality. They opened AEROBALL Sports in Tucson, Arizona in October, 2003. Since its opening, Aeroball Sports, LLC in Tucson expanded programming to include summer camp programs and fitness activities for children, as well as proving itself to be a great place for birthday parties, school field trips, and sports teams. The Hollands' work with overweight children has been recognized by the community as an innovative, valuable resource to help fight childhood obesity. Both Aeroball Sports and SWAT Personal Training are committed to researching, learning, and working with personal training clients, children, and the community to obtain grants and funds to promote healthy activities like Aeroball, Fit Kids (Weight Training for Kids), Nutrition Classes for young people and their families) and the JUMP! Fun Camps for Kids. The Hollands plan to continue providing comprehensive programs of exercise and nutrition for kids, and plans to offer personal training services, and nutrition counseling to needy families, based on community and organizational scholarships.
