Plans for Returning to Gym in 2021

Plans for Returning to Gym in 2021

Most parents are probably looking forward to the children returning to school on 8th March, although there is also likely to be a number of parents who are not so keen. We hope that it goes well for all parents and children.

We have been looking at dates when we will be able to reopen the Club. We have received guidance from British Gymnastics and have made plans largely according to their advice. If the Government’s Roadmap goes to plan, we will be allowed to open our doors again on Monday 12th April. As this date is halfway through the school Easter holidays, we have given careful consideration about the best way to structure the sessions during the first week.

In previous years, with the exception of 2020, Recreational classes and Pre-School would be on holiday for Easter, and gymnasts would be offered Easter Camps for the duration of the holiday. Squad training would continue throughout the holiday. We would like to continue with this theme when we open again on Monday 12th April.

From Monday 12th to Friday 16th, we will offer daily sessions from 10.00a.m. – 3.00p.m. We will be able to accommodate a maximum of 25 gymnasts per day in order to comply with social distancing. These sessions would be more gymnastics based than our previous camps, as we are anticipating that the gymnasts will want to get back on the equipment when they return. This decision will also help us comply with social distancing.

Squad sessions will return in the evenings from Monday 12th April , session times will be the same as they were before Christmas.

Saturday sessions, will restart from Saturday 17th April. All classes, both Recreational and Squad will be running.

Pre-school sessions will restart from Sunday 18th April.

We hope that these dates will not require any amendments, but if the Government Roadmap changes, we will be forced to make changes to our plans.

We will send out more details about the training during Easter as soon as possible. If you have any further queries, please contact worcestershiregymnastics@gmail.com., although the volume of emails is very high at the moment, so please be patient with waiting for a reply. We hope this notification will answer most of your questions.

We look forward to seeing you all again in April. We hope our gymnasts are as excited about the prospect of coming back to gymnastics as our coaches are. Hopefully, not long to wait.
