Gymnastics Club billing policies

After COVID-19, if we want to win back past customers, and welcome more, many clubs will need to change billing policies,

In fact, we may need to lower prices as well.

Heart what a fairly new club, GymTactics, is doing.

Coaching TIPS from Rick McCharles

Gymnastics British Colombia asked me to put together an online coach education presentation to help fill the gap until our normal Canadian National Coaching Certification Program courses resume.

I decided to add voice over to a presentation I’ve done at various Congress events since 2014.  I’ve called it …

Gymnastics Basics:

SAFest, FUNest, FASTest, EASiest, LeastSpottingest 😀

In fact it’s a random collection of some of my favourite WAG & MAG drills that work well in a wide number of different kinds of competitive clubs.  It includes some progressions that I find infrequently used in the 30+ Gyms I visit each year.

Gymnastics Australia COVID-19 reopening

Frank Sahlein shared a document from Gymnastics Australia:

PREPARATION OF TRAINING/ COMPETITION ENVIRONMENTS

Once gymnastics clubs are provided with the endorsement to resume gymnastics activities in any capacity, the following specific factors for a safe resumption of training and participation should be considered …

Program Scheduling

  • How can training be staggered to minimise numbers and reduce contact?
  • Modifying training times so that there are less people present at one time
  • Scheduling adequate venue and equipment cleaning time between sessions.

Cleaning

  • Bathrooms/change rooms, kitchens, and entrance foyer

  • What is the protocol and frequency of cleaning shared facilities?

  • Treatment of surfaces

    • –  A single deep clean will not provide any ongoing protection

    • –  Use a product with residual viricidal activity to inactivate viruses

    • –  Diluted bleach solution for non-porous surfaces (70% alcohol solution or diluted bleach solution) is effective on non-porous surfaces.

    • –  Surfaces such vinyl mat coverings, high touch areas (doorknobs, benches, etc) require regular mechanical wiping.

    • –  Some cleaning solutions may cause skin irritation, so take care to use gloves when cleaning, and wipe mats again with damp cloth (water) for surfaces that have greater contact area (e.g. children lying on mats).

That’s a short excerpt.

Read the entire document.

One recommendation new to me was this:

Gymnastics Australia recommends that all its members download the Australian Government COVID-19 contact tracing app (COVIDSafe).

Handstand Homework

If kids are asking, the best resource I know is from Tumbl Trak.

They offer several packages around the Handstand Workbook which was developed by Carrie Lennox.

Details.
