May 18-June 14th 2020 Schedule- Girls TEAM  

Phase 2 Opening –  Start June 15th – End of summer / Rec start 6/13

Phase 1: Wildcard Re-Opening Procedures Beginning May 18th, 2020

Entry: Gymnasts will line up at the main door (maintaining 6’ distances).  Gymnasts will have their temperature taken with a no-contact thermometer.  Any students with temps over 99 degrees will not be allowed to enter the gym.  Please keep gymnasts home if they have a temperature or are feeling ill in any way.  Parents that enter the gym must wear a mask in common areas at all times.  Gymnasts will sanitize their hands upon entering the facility.  Please see the schedule to know when your gymnast(s) scheduled practice time is.  Each gymnast is only allowed to come at their scheduled practice time, there are no exceptions.

Warm-ups: Team gymnasts will be broken into groups with no more than 15 kids in a particular area at a time while doing our best to keep each kid 6 feet apart at all times.  Gymnasts will warm up in different areas, and designated waiting areas will be established.  Upon entry each group and individual will be assigned an area for warm-ups.  

Events:  There will be no more than 10 students at an event and each will be spread out to have her own balance beam, bar station, etc.  Gymnasts will help wipe down/sanitize equipment after their event has concluded.  We will attempt to rotate so that at least two events are open at a time (to dry and alternate use).  There will be sanitizing equipment at each major event area in the gym, gymnasts will be required to help sanitize their station/piece of equipment.  In addition, gymnasts will be asked to wash their hands/use hand sanitizer upon rotating to another event/using other equipment.  

Water:  Students MUST have their own water bottles.  Water will be available for purchase if gymnasts forget and will be charged to the family account.  Gymnasts are NOT to use the water fountains and are allowed NOT share water bottles with other gymnasts.  No SNACKS will be allowed at this time.  

Washing Hands:  Students will be encouraged to wash hands frequently and use hand sanitizer.  Sanitizer stations will be set up around the gym and at each event.  Coaches will do their best to enforce each student to wash their hands after each event. 

Staff:  Staff greeting gymnasts at the door or doing temperature checks will wear masks.  Masks will be worn when in close proximity of a child or while spotting a necessary skill.  Spotting will be done only when necessary for the safety of the gymnast.    

Facility Ratio:  A 20,000 sq foot facility allows for 80 athletes at a time! (we are 25,000 sq ft!). We are keeping this well under the amount for the entire summer! (See schedule with approximate number of kids).  The 40 X 40 foot floor allows for approximately 40 gymnasts at a time.  Again, we are keeping to no more than 15 in Phase 1.  

Exiting:  Gymnasts will exit out the side parking lot entrance.  A coach will walk gymnasts to the door and watch the students walk to their vehicle safely or to a parent who is picking them up. 

Apparel:  Gymnasts should be dressed in their leotards, ready for practice. We encourage gymnasts to leave all other clothing with parents in the car as not to clutter or bring in outside germs.  Shoes can be left near cubbies.  All gymnasts should have their grips, personal tape and a labeled box (closable tupperware container) with their names on it for chalk.  We will provide the first week’s worth of chalk.  After that, additional chalk will be available for purchase for $5 a block. Each block should last the gymnast approximately 2 weeks.  Gymnasts should not share chalk at this time.  Gymnasts will bring their chalk boxes to bars with them and will be encouraged to rotate bar stations with their boxes.  These items should come back and forth to the gym each day with the gymnast.  Anything left at the gym will be quarantined and sanitized for 48 hours.  

Ventilation: Dock doors/windows open will be open during all practice times to help ensure active air flow throughout the gym. 

Spectators:  Parents are asked to drop their gymnasts at the door and wait until the gymnast’s temperature has been tested and he/she is allowed to enter the building.  However, due to recent Safe Sport guidelines, we cannot restrict parents from watching practices.  We ask that all parents wear masks in common areas and sanitize when entering the facility.  Seating will be reduced to approximately 50% capacity allowing for chairs to be 6 feet apart.  Please, no food in that area and if you bring a drink, please dispose of it when you are done. 

Supplies:  We are asking that each family donate a bottle of hand sanitizer, clorox/microban wipes or lysol/microban disinfectant spray.  We understand that these are in high demand right now but want to do everything we can to keep our gymnasts safe.  

Between Class Procedures:  Coaches will be helping to sanitize equipment, common areas, and themselves between each group of kids entering the gym.

Nightly Procedures:  Coaches and gymnasts will help sanitize the equipment and common areas that are used each day.  The gym will be sprayed nightly with disinfectant and cleaned diligently by staff and management.  

Privates Lessons:  Are now available within Phase 1 of reopening.  Private lessons are to be conducted outside of team practice hours (3:00PM-8:15PM Monday-Friday) -Meaning, privates will be offered Monday- Friday 8:00AM- 2:30PM, Saturdays 1:30PM-8PM and Sundays 8AM-4PM.  Times and dates must be communicated with the individual coach conducting the private lesson in order to adhere to their schedule.  Below is a contact info with coaches names and contact information.  All payments for private lessons are to be paid in full to Wildcard Gymnastics and will be distributed through payroll accordingly.  All privates, regardless of the coach, will be one hour at a $60 rate with a $20  going to the gym.  Gymnasts and coaches are required to wipe down all equipment they use at each event at the end of the hour.  

There will be a new Pandemic  waiver to sign prior to starting practice.

We do understand that this schedule may not be ideal at least for the first month. We encourage you to reach out if you have any questions and we are willing to make accommodations after the first week and we know what we are dealing with.  We appreciate your support and are looking forward to having your kids back in the gym!!  We want this to be a great experience for all and first and foremost is the safety of your gymnast.  This is going to be a fluid transition and there may be updates/changes made based on numbers of gymnasts, newly release protocols, etc.  Please bear with us as this has been an unprecedented event!!
