- 2 foam floor beams
Changes happening in September
There will be slight changes made within this term along with reasonable explanations as to why we have put them in place.
- We are reducing the days that we will be running; offering classes only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
We are making these changes as with everything that is going on, we feel it will be difficult to run the classes with the guidelines we have. - We will have to change our 4-6yrs class to 5-6yrs,
We are not allowed to physically support and have contact with the children. At this age, it will be very challenging to pull off and keep everyone safe in maintaining social distancing. - We will be changing our Friday adults class to an Open 11+ (including adults) class and removing our Sunday young adults class.
We are making this change as both these classes didn’t have many attending, this will hopefully allow us to still offer something for both groups. - We will be reducing the class sizes from being 1 coach to 8 gymnasts to 1 coach to 6 gymnasts.
This will reduce most our classes that are normally at a maximum capacity of 16 to 12. - We will be staggering the start times of each class to avoid different classes crossing paths.
- We will still be following the covid-19 guidelines we put in place, this includes only letting participants enter the building
