Covid-19 Action Plan-updated 09/2020
|| What We Have Always Done to Keep RGA Clean & Safe ||
All Athletes, children and staff apply hand sanitizer at the start and end of class.
Our lobby is cleaned 3x daily: tables, counter, door (push bar and glass), light switches, floors vacuumed, windows cleaned.
Bathrooms are cleaned and disinfected 3x daily. (Now following every class)
All light switches, door knobs and “high touch” surfaces and toys are disinfected daily.
Gym area including all mats, and vinyl surfaces is deep cleaned biweekly.
Air filters are changed weekly.
Monitor children for illness and injury and advise regarding participation.
|| Additional Measures ||
Supervise all participants in hand washing or use of hand sanitizer at start and end of class, and following each event (use of equipment group, i.e. uneven bars, balance, beam, tumble track). End of class stamps will not be given.
Lobby tables with be spaced apart, and limited to one parent/guardian per gymnast for viewing. We strongly encourage parents to wait in the cars while class is in session to limit the amount o traffic in our facility. Tables and chairs will be disinfected following use by visitors. Toys, coloring, crayons will be removed :(
Food and Drink is not allowed in the lobby at this time.
Gymnasts will be welcomed into facility a few minutes prior to the start of class. We encourage you to wait in your vehicle or wait at least 6 feet apart on the sidewalk prior to doors opening. Gymnasts will be escorted into the building by a staff member. Please be on time, if you are late for class we may not have staff available for your safe entry.
Staff will conduct the COVID-19 screening, including no-touch temperature screening of all participants prior to entry. A log will be kept of everyone entering the facility including parents/guardians/visitors.
Gymnasts should be dressed for class, with limited personal items. Team members may bring a gym bag to store all personal items. Cubbies will be unavailable. Items will be left, spaced apart on the white line in the gym to limit congregating in the hallway.
No more than one cohort or class of 15 will be in the gym at any time.
All classes and team cohorts will remain stable. Gymnasts will be limited to the same group of athletes at each class/training session.
Everyone entering the building is required to wear a face mask. Lesson plans are updated and constructed for safe participation while wearing a face covering.
Visitors/Parents are asked to keep face masks on during their entire stay.
Lessons plans will be altered to allow for safe, effective instruction eliminating hands-on spotting when possible. The use of the foam pit will be limited to team members based on specific skill need and safety.
Coaches, employees, and staff will maintain social distancing of at least 6 feet when it is safe and appropriate for training purposes.
Entire gym, lobby areas, and bathrooms will be disinfected following each class/training time.
We will refrain from using the HVAC systems when possible. Doors and windows will be opened to allow for additional fresh air flow.
Gymnasts will be escorted to the door and supervised to their cars immediately following class.
To maintain consistent classes we can not offer make up lessons.
|| What You Can Do ||
DO NOT come to the gym if you are sick, showing signs of sickness, or have been exposed to COVID-19.
Have patience and understanding for the established guidelines for our safe re-opening plan.
Talk with your gymnast about the changes that will be taking place at RGA before their arrival.
Be on time for class, and leave quickly following your class to allow us time to clean and disinfect prior to the next class.
If you are comfortable, please wait in your vehicle or in our outdoor waiting areas to limit the number of individuals in our facility.
Be open with us about your concerns, questions, or comments.
