ETIQUETTE
What do I need to wear?
For beginners anything that is cool and comfortable, so leggings or shorts and a Tshirt are ideal. SOCKS OR TRAMPOLINE SHOES ARE COMPULSORY. Warm clothes should be worn to and from the gym to keep muscles in good condition.
Once children have settled in, our club kit is available for purchase if desired. This includes leotards, T-shirts and hoodies.
What should I do with my hair?
Long hair must be tied up with soft bobbles. Plaits or braids also help to keep hair in place.
Is jewellery allowed?
No, none at all. For safety reasons, British Gymnastics regulations prohibit any jewellery from being worn during training. This includes earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, anklets, friendship bracelets and holiday or festival wristbands. Please take them off before the beginning of your session to avoid disruption.
Can I take photos or videos?
No, for data protection reasons, taking photographs or videos is not permitted. If you would like a photograph of your child in the gym, please speak to a coach and wait until the end of the class to ensure that the image is of your child only.
Can I stay with my child?
For health & safety reasons parents are not allowed in the trampoline hall. We have a comfortable viewing area, where you are welcome to watch your child. Drinks and snacks are available to purchase.
