Going Forward Guide

PARENTS AND GYMNASTS – GOING FORWARD GUIDE

Gymnasts

  1. Please do not come to gymnastics if you are feeling at all unwell.
  2. Remember to go to the toilet and wash your hands before coming to Gym. We should then be able to keep toilet visits to a minimum.
  3. Please come to Gym in your kit and bring the minimum of things with you.  A Coach will advise you where to place your belongings in the gym or changing rooms. Probably best to leave valuables at home.
  4. Bring only water in your drinks bottle.
  5. Bring blocks if you have them.
  6. Wait at the entry, we will then take you into the gym hall so parents/carers do not need to enter.

Entry at Littledown will be via the Main Entrance and down the stairs.

Entry at Avonbourne will either be through the door next to the Dance Studios or down the alley between the two school buildings.

  • On entry you will sanitise your hands. We are remaining a little cautious, and will continue to try and keep the number of people in the gym as low as possible, so your Parents will not be allowed to enter the gym.
  • Please try and move around the gym in a clockwise direction and be aware of your surroundings at all times. Spatial awareness is a big part of gymnastics so practice is good!
  • You are free to sanitise your hands at any time in the session.
  • Talk to your coaches if you have any concerns or are anxious about something.
  • If, during the session you feel ill, please do tell the coaches.

Parents

  1. Please talk through the points above with your child.
  2. Please arrive on time if possible.
  3. We have always liked having an open house with parents being able to watch the sessions; however, now that we have got used to a smaller number of people in the gym we feel that going forward this is the best option. We will however, organise a ‘Watch Week’ from time to time for parents to attend.
  4. Please be assured that we are doing everything we can to keep your child safe with us.
  5. We will be continuing with an increased cleaning regime going forward, and cleaning will be done before each session. Our sessions will now be increased to 55 minutes which will accommodate this. This short time gap will also allow for change over of sessions to be less busy.
