With Phase 1 in effect for June, we are opening up the gym to our team for limited use, to test out how our new guidelines will work. If things go well, we can begin classes perhaps later on during the month of June.
The Gym:
- When rec classes resume, class times will be adjusted to allow for cleaning between classes
- All shared props are removed for the time being
- All high-touch areas and equipment are wiped down after each station rotation and after each class with cleaners effective against COVID-19
- Gym is cleaned and also sanitized each evening with an Aquafog Atomizer™ using a hospital grade disinfectant (Peroxy HDox)
- The drinking fountain is closed; students are required to bring their own water bottles
- The party room/waiting room is closed, temporarily
- The team room is closed, temporarily
- All adults must wear masks
- Hand sanitizer will be provided, both in the lobby and by each event, and the bathrooms will be monitored to make certain the soap dispensers are filled
Employees:

- Employees shall sanitize or wash their hands before and after each class
- Employees shall wear masks
- Coaches shall limit their physical contact with students, however for safety some spotting will always be necessary
- Coaches shall enforce physical distancing between students
Pick up and drop off:
