WAUPUN GYMNASTICS COVID GUIDELINES
*As restrictions are lifted, our guidelines may change.
Thank you for following these guidelines as we jump back into classes! We are excited to get these kiddos back into the gym!
- For this session (and until further notice), only WAUPUN Area School District students will be allowed to participate in classes, per WASD reopening rules.
- We ask that parents do a wellness check for their child prior to coming to the gym. If your child is showing any symptoms of fever (100.4 or above), dry cough, or uncharacteristic fatigue or loss of taste or smell, they will be required to stay home.
- Please remind your child of good health practices – sneezing into elbow, frequent hand washing / sanitizing, and no high fives or touching of other students or staff.
- Athletes will use hand sanitizer upon entering the gym and also immediately prior to leaving, and as needed throughout practice.
- Only 1 parent or guardian will be allowed to enter the gym with athlete(s). No siblings. We will ask that if their child is over the suggested age of 6, that they do not stay to watch class. This will leave more capacity for students in class. Masks will be required for all.
- We will do our best to maintain social distancing as much as possible. This will manifest in stations at each event at all times. Class sizes will also be limited and start times staggered to reduce traffic coming and going.
- There will be no sharing water bottles or using school’s fountain. Each athlete must bring their own bottle if desired. Spaces will be marked on the floor around the gym for keeping personal items.
- High contact points on hard equipment and mats will be wiped down with hospital grade disinfectant after each group prior to rotating to next event.
- Spotting will be reduced, but not eliminated. Spotting is a key component in learning skills safely in gymnastics.
- The locker room doors will be propped open for bathroom use. No using the upstairs restrooms. Athletes will be reminded to wash hands thoroughly and may be asked by their teacher to use sanitizer when they return to the gym.
