The aim of the club is to provide a safe, effective and child friendly environment
in which the members can participate in gymnastics activities under the guidance
of appropriately qualified coaches.
We operate an open philosophy and welcome the support of parents or guardians.
Wherever possible we will enable you to observe training sessions provided that
it does not contravene our Health and Safety regulations. We also encourage and
value parental involvement in the club.
The members of the club are
organized into groups according to their age, gender, ability,
experience and individual needs and coaches will be pleased
to discuss the training programmes and your child’s
needs with you.
We provide a child/member centred, coach led programme and will endeavour to
help you/your child develop to their optimum level of performance. Our coaches
are all British Gymnastics qualified coaches at the appropriate level and have
been screened for their suitability to work with children. A Welfare Officer
has been appointed by the club to deal with any safety issues.
Arrangements should be made to escort your child to and from training sessions
and events. We would appreciate your child arriving and being collected promptly.
Participants are required to be appropriately dressed in gymnastic attire, no
jewellery or hair beads. Sensitive discretion within the bounds of reasonable
safety will be shown in particular circumstances.
The club has adopted the BG policies for Child Protection, Equity and Codes of
Conduct and all officials, coaches, members and parents must adhere to these
policies.
