Re-Opening RGA Guidelines
|| What We Have Always Done to Keep RGA Clean & Safe ||
All Athletes, children and staff will apply hand sanitizer at the start and end of class.
Our lobby is cleaned 3x daily: tables, counter, door (push bar and glass), light switches, floors vacuumed, windows cleaned.
Bathrooms are cleaned and disinfected 3x daily.
All light switches, door knobs and “high touch” surfaces and toys are disinfected daily.
Gym area including all mats, and vinyl surfaces is deep cleaned biweekly.
Air filters are changed weekly.
Monitor children for illness and injury and advise regarding participation.
Allow makeups for missed classes due to illness or injury.
|| Additional Measures ||
Supervise all participants in hand washing or use of hand sanitizer at start and end of class, and following each event (use of equipment group, i.e. uneven bars, balance, beam, tumble track). End of class stamps will not be given.
Lobby tables with be spaced apart, and limited to one parent/guardian per gymnast for viewing. Toys, coloring, crayons will be removed :(.
Gymnasts will be welcomed into facility 5 minutes prior to the start of class. We encourage you to wait in your vehicle prior to doors opening. Gymnasts will be escorted into the building by a staff member. Please be on time, if you are late for class we may not have staff available for your safe entry.
Staff will conduct the COVID-19 screening, including no-touch temperature screening of all participants prior to entry. A log will be kept of everyone entering the facility including parents/guardians/visitors.
Gymnasts should be dressed for class, with limited personal items. Team members may bring a gym bag to store all personal items. Cubbies will be unavailable. Items will be left, spaced apart on the white line in the gym to limit congregating in the hallway.
No more than one cohort or class of 15 or less will be in the gym at any time.
All classes and team cohorts will remain stable. Gymnasts will be limited to the same group of athletes at each class/training session.
Everyone entering the building is required to wear a face mask. While participating in class/training, gymnasts will not be wearing a mask.
Lessons plans will be altered to allow for safe, effective instruction eliminating hands-on spotting when possible. The use of the foam pit will be limited to team members based on specific skill need and safety.
Coaches, employees, and staff will maintain social distancing of at least 6 feet when it is safe and appropriate for training purposes; otherwise, staff will wear a face mask.
Entire gym, and lobby areas will be disinfected following each class/training time.
We will refrain from using the HVAC systems when possible. Doors and windows will be opened to allow for additional fresh air flow.
Gymnasts will be escorted to the door and supervised to their cars immediately following class.
Scheduled class times will be altered to allow for appropriate and thorough cleaning and disinfecting of the facility.
|| What You Can Do ||
DO NOT come to the gym if you are sick, showing signs of sickness, or have been exposed to COVID-19.
Have patience and understanding for the established guidelines for our safe re-opening plan.
Talk with your gymnast about the changes that will be taking place at RGA before their arrival.
Be open with us about your concerns, questions, or comments.
Attend the parent info zoom meeting on Monday, June 8th @ 7pm. (please contact us directly for zoom login information.)
|| Important Information ||
Gymnasts have been away from gymnastics for long period of time, it will take time to rebuild their strength, stamina, and flexibility. Many weeks will be focused on basics, technique, and strength building.
All students will be un-enrolled from their old classes going forward. Your accounts will not be charged unless you have decided to re-register.
Enrollment information will be available this week. Classes/Training will resume on July 6th.
Open Play and Dance More @ RGA classes will not be resuming at this time.
