CODE OF CONDUCT FOR PARENTS AND GUARDIANS
- Please ensure your child learns and follows the Club’s code of conduct for gymnasts.
- Please ensure your child is suitably dressed and has socks - PLEASE NO HOODS (as these can restrict your child's vision on a trampoline which is extremely dangerous). We also ask that buttons and zips are avoided as these can damage equipment and hurt the coach and/or gymnast if contact is made.
