Health
and Safety Policy statement Dynamics Gymnastics recognises the duties it has under health and safety acts and regulations to ensure the safety, health and well being of gymnasts, coaches and helpers when they are involved in club business. In
particular, it recognises its responsibilities to: -
Provide a safe and healthy training environment for gymnasts and coaches
through assessing the risks associated with participation and
controlling them to ensure they are minimised. -
Ensure
that adequate arrangements are in place in the event of accident, fire
or other incident. - Ensure
that coaches and helpers have appropriate gymnastic/trampolining
coaching training. - Keep
the arrangements under review and introducing additional measures
considered necessary and are reasonably practicable in relation to the
operation of the clubs business. Message
to parents Please
note that the coaches at Dynamics Gymnastics believe their job is
made easier if parents are not present in the gymnasium during the
sessions. If there are
exceptional circumstances and you feel your presence is necessary,
please make yourself and the reason known to the Head Coach. If
you wish to speak to one of the coaches, they will be available at the
beginning and end of each session unless leading a warm up.
In this situation, please speak to an available coach. We
feel it is vitally important that your children return safely to you at
the end of each session. As such, coaches will monitor gymnasts leaving at the end of
each session and look after gymnasts remaining inside the gymnasium.
Please help us with this process by informing a coach if someone
not recognisable to us is due to collect your child. Thank
you for your co-operation in these matters. Rules and
safety code - Do not wear loose clothing. Leotards, leggings, shorts and t-shirts are all appropriate. It is also advisable to wear a tracksuit to warm up in. - Feet should be bare (only gym slippers are otherwise acceptable). - Long hair must be tied back. - Remove all jewellery. Session procedures and rules - Leave all belongings except valuables/money in the changing rooms. Valuables/money can be kept at the side of the gymnasium at your own risk. -
At
the beginning of each session, wait outside the gymnasium until invited
in by a coach. -
On
entering the gymnasium, sit on the mat area. -
Listen
carefully and respond appropriately to instructions given by coaches. -
If
asked to carry equipment (older gymnasts only) always walk with your
pathway sighted and with the help of at least one other person. -
Always
report a breakage or accident immediately. - Do not eat or chew during gymnastics classes (bottled water is permitted). - Never try new skills without permission. -
