Rules and Guidelines:
As an instructor it is your job to make sure that the students you are teaching are fully aware of the rules and guidelines. Safety of all gymnast should be your primary concern when you establish a learning environment.
Safety Rules: Safety rules should be easy to see around the gym walls and also on the equipment. Also each student that you are teaching should have a typed copy of the rules. Also as an instructor you must establish consequences for breach of these rules and you must make each student aware of these consequences. You may not need to do this all the time sometimes students may just need a reminder and others may need time-outs.
Health Form: Parents must sign a form that indicates the health of each student. A parent is responsible for making sure the instructor knows that his/her child has a medical condition such as asthma or other serious medical conditions. If not they are putting there child at risk. In school environments health forms are sent out to the parents or guardians to fill out and are then sent back to the school administrators at the beginning of the year. The instructors or physical educators should review the forms and make necessary notes to ensure the students safety. It is important that instructors know what conditions may limit each gymnasts participation or success. It is also important to keep a letter called a "waiver letter" in file that has the parents signature on it. This form of letter protects your club from any liability in case of accidents or injuries.
Traffic Flow: It is important to set up tumbling mats and approach pathways along the walls of the gym to stop students from stepping into paths of other gymnasts. All the areas surrounding apparatus should have enough room for landings you should set up traffic patterns in these areas to prevent collisions. You should also keep clear pathways near windows, doors, walkways and walls.
