It seems to many that USA Gymnastics was quite slow in posting their own document.
Member clubs had already reopened before they saw this document, I believe.
Here’s a SAMPLE:
Spotting
• Athlete safety is paramount, and coaches should not be restricted from spotting an athlete if necessary, to protect the athlete from injury.
• While spotting remains an important element to athlete safety, consider alternative teaching/coaching methods that align with social distancing protocols.
• Clearly communicate any alternative teaching/coaching methods so they are understood by the athletes and their parents.
• Coaches should consider the use of gloves for personal contact, with a goal of switching gloves between athletes.
Parent Viewing
• Per USA Gymnastics’ Safe Sport Policy, a parent/guardian must be provided the opportunity to observe their child’s training.
