Returning to gym in a COVID safe environment

Niddrie Gymnastics will follow the mandates from the Victorian Government in regards to the safe opening up of our gym for our gymnasts. We will be following the “Get In, Train, Get Out” principle to minimize the risk of an outbreak within the premises.

Firstly, and the most important. If you or your child are unwell please do not enter the gym for the health and safety of all of us. The same will be expected of our coaches and staff. If you are unwell please stay home!

Parents:

During the time of the pandemic we ask all parents to drop off and pick only.

We encourage Tumble Time and Inclusive parents to drop off and pick up however if you must come into the gym you will be required to be fully vaccinated, check in using our QR code, wear a mask at all times and practice social distancing.

The main door to the right will be ENTRY ONLY. You will be asked to drop your child or bring them to the door, where a coach will greet them, record their attendance and let them in. Remember to practice social distancing of 1.5mtrs while you wait outside.

The office door to the left will be EXIT ONLY. Please wait here to pick up your child and practice social distancing. A coach will wait at the door and send your child out when you arrive.

Vaccination:

Any person 12 years and 2 months must be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 or have a valid medical exemption.

Hygiene:

Gymnasts will be asked to wash their hands and sanitise before, during and after class. We have installed 'touch free' hand sanitiser stations around the gym and by the Entry and Exit doors.

Equipment will be sanitised after each class and rotation wherever possible.

What to bring:

Please make sure your child is dressed and ready for gym in fresh, clean clothes for their session (ie. not clothes worn to school). The water fountain will be disabled, please bring a clearly labelled drink bottle. Bring a bag for all items of clothing, drink bottles, grips if you wear them, all your child's belongings will need to go home with them after each session.

Most of all, your child must bring a huge smile for their coaches and teammates. 

GYM IS BACK!! Woo hoo!
