I believe the answer is:

out of bounds

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'banned' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'might be retired trampolinist?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'retired' could be 'out' (synonyms) and 'out' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'as' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for out of bounds that I've seen before include "like an exhausted kangaroo?" , "taboo" , "lying beyond field of play?" , "Skipper so exhausted" , "Off limits" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
