We would like to continue to ask for your support by encouraging your gymnasts and parents to get involved in safe activities and discourage any skills-based activities that are not endorsed by us. What safety measures should I encourage gymnasts, and parents of gymnasts, to put in place before doing any recommended activities? Below are a list of safety measures you should provide to gymnasts and parents. • Make sure you have enough space around you before starting an activity • Make sure activities set are appropriate for your participants physical and mental limits • Make sure challenge-based activity is focussed on the gymnast challenging their personal best rather than being compared to others • Make sure participation is at the same level it would be during a normal week i.e. not doing hours of activity every day if they only take part once or twice per week normally • If you are doing live social media activity, please make sure that you cater for the spectrum of ability that may be watching • All activity must be completed in a safe environment and gymnasts must complete the pulse raiser activity on their relevant award before attempting any of the remaining skills. • All surfaces should be stable and where relevant carpeted. Please advise parents/carers that gymnasts must not use furniture to perform any of the skills Safety is absolutely paramount in our sport and we all need to continue to keep gymnast safety at the forefront of our minds. Below are links to download training material. Please note: Only use material that is relevant to your child's age, level and ability.
