GENERAL GYMNASTICS COVID-19 GUILDLINES

NEW General COVID-19 Prevention Measures; 

• Drop off zone for the gymnasts will be at the main entrance where a member of staff will take a temperature check of the gymnast and ensure they sanitise their hands upon entry, they will then be taken through to the small gymnasium for the register to be taken and put into groups before they are taken into the main gymnasium for warm up and their session. Parents or anyone not taking part in that class will not be allowed in the centre. PARENT/RESPONSIBLE ADULT MUST STAY WITH their child/children until the Temperature check has been completed and gymnast is cleared to enter class. If any child entering for a class shows a temperature...

THEY WILL NOT BE ALLOWED IN AND WILL NEED TO BE TAKEN HOME IMMEDIATELY TO FOLLOW GOVERNMENT GUIDELINES AND SELF ISOLATE FOR 14 DAYS!!! IF A CHILD RETURNS THE FOLLOWING WEEK FOR CLASS AFTER BEING SENT HOME DUE TO COVID-19 SYMPTOMS THEY WILL IMMEDIATELY LOSE THEIR PLACE IN OUR GENERAL GYMNASTICS PROGRAMME.

IT IS PARAMOUNT WE ALL DO OUR BEST AND RESPECT ALL RULES AND GUIDELINES TO PROTECT OURSELVES AND EACH OTHER.

TEMPERATURE MARGIN: 

A Temperature of 37.9 Celsius or over will NOT be permitted to enter the premises and take part in their class. They must immediately head home and follow government guidelines by self isolating for 14 Days 

• Collection area of your child/children following their class will be at the Small Gymnasium fire exit around the back of the car park. Please ensure you stand in the positions marked on the floor and wait patiently for your child's name to be called out. At this point you walk towards the fire exit to collect your child/children and continue following the exit signs of the car park. 

*PLEASE SEE DIAGRAM ATTACHED BELOW AND ONLY USE CAR PARK GATE ENTRANCES SHOWN FOR YOUR SPECIFIC REASON IN COMING ALONG TO THE CENTRE.

• Majority of Classes will be using the Main Gymnasium instead of the Smaller Gymnasium to ensure we are able to keep to the necessary social distancing guidelines. 

• Social distancing spaces will be marked out at each piece of apparatus for gymnasts to stand and wait patiently and will be monitored by their coach.

• The Male and Female toilets in the changing rooms will be designated for the general gymnastics program only.

​

• Gymnasts must arrive prepared in their gymnastics attire as there will be no changing rooms available in the building. This is to limit the shared use of spaces throughout the centre. 

• We recommend that gymnasts bring their own bottle of water and must be clearly labelled with their name (Must have a sports lid bottle). However water will still be available to purchase at reception and receptionist will label bottle for them. (Sport lid waters will be stocked so price of water sold at reception is TBC)​

• If any parents wish to speak with a coach a meeting time will need to be booked through the Head of General Gymnastics via email. This will take place over zoom or a designated room if possible or necessary.

• A safe zone will be created if we feel a gymnast falls unwell and/or starts to show any possible signs of COVID Symptoms, the parents will be called and a safe collection of gymnasts will be arranged.

• Amendments to E.L.G.C  GDPR Privacy Policy has be adjusted in order for us to provided NHS Track and Trace if requested.
