--==++ IDEAS FROM POSTS BELOW ++==--
- Follow State & Federal guidelines
- Initial opening with small groups of 10 or less
- Following social distancing guidelines (6+ feet) with stations / drills
- Frequent hand washing for the gymnasts and coaches
- Wiping down equipment after each use
- Masks
- N95 vs non-N95
- Issues with restricting oxygen for athletes
- Just the coaches
- Just the parents
- Everyone
- Shorter workout times
- Screen for temperature/fever/symptoms at door
- Hand sanitizing before each event
- Consider some training outside (i.e. conditioning)
- Starting up with basics and conditioning so there will be no need to spot
- Each athlete will have their own chalk block kept in a Ziploc bag
- Each athlete will have their own spray bottle for water
- Leave shoes at the door or in a bag
- Cameras with login for parents to see from outside of the facility
- No people allowed in that are coughing
- Stagger workout times
- Stagger break times (or if practice short enough no break to limit congregating)
- Consider supplementing in person training with online training
- Wear masks in-between turns
- Encourage parents to not congregate
- Do not allow older coaches or staff with pre-existing health conditions to work initially
- Limit parents
- Place parent viewing seating at appropriate social distancing lengths
- Extra hand sanitizing stations at entrance... parent viewing... in gym... etc
- One way traffic as much as possible (an "in" door and an "out" door)
- Consider “keep team healthy” policies (credits for missed classes due to illness)
- Nightly equipment cleaning of high touch surfaces such as tables, chairs, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, sinks with EPA registered household disinfectant per CDC guidance
- Leave gymnast supplies in the car between practices
- Gymnast assigned a balance beam / drill / piece of equipment that only they use... then wipe down after
- One at a time in the bathroom... surfaces cleaned after use
- No use of foam pit or put mat on top of pit that can be cleaned
- No locker use... they are too close together
- No water fountain use
- Sign in board at front of gym
- Workout groups will be quarantined from gym for 14 days if anyone in the group tests positive for COVID-19
- Eliminate contracts and attendance requirements
- Far-UVC lights
- Exclude customers that do not follow the clubs new rules
- Coaches only teach 1 group in order to prevent cross-contamination
