​Mitigation Strategies that will be in place (until further notice)
Gym Numbers
  • We are choosing to stay below the 50% capacity allowed by the NH state Covid-19 guidelines
  • Our class limit will be 6 students (10 students for our competitive team groups)     
  • No make-ups will be allowed for missed practices.  You can, however, attend an open gym at no charge to make up for a missed class.  Please call the office to register.    
  • All classes will be staggered so that only one group starts and ends at any given time 
 
Illness precautions- Students and staff
  • All staff and students’ temperatures will be taken upon entering the gym  
  • Students and staff who have a temperature of 100.4 or above will not be allowed in the gym
  • Students and staff should stay home if they have other signs of illness OR if other signs of illness are present among family members living in the home
 
Illness precautions- parents/guardians  
  • We ask that those exposed to someone with Covid-19 remain out of the gym for the appropriate 10-day quarantine period (while monitoring symptoms for the full 14-days).  We have adopted the NH Department of Public Services guideline, which is guided by the CDC and NH state responses.  Please read the Self-Quarantine Guide
  • We ask that families that have traveled outside of NH, ME, VT, MA or RI quarantine for the appropriate 10-day period (regardless of method of transportation).
  • We ask that only one parent/guardian enter the gym.  Only the upstairs viewing area is open, and with chairs that are placed 6-feet apart.  Direction/flow of traffic will be clearly marked with signage
  • Parents/guardians will maintain 6-feet of distance from others.  
  • Spectators who are older than 2 are required to wear a mask while in our waiting/common areas (at all times), even when 6-feet of distance can be maintained.       
 
Routine Gym Cleaning and Disinfecting
  • All those who enter our building must first sanitize their hands using the touch-free station in our entry way
  • There are six additional, touch-free hand sanitizer stations throughout the gym and lobby areas.  Children will be encouraged to wash their hands frequently (and in the bathrooms with soap and water when feasible).
  • Public water fountain is closed.  Students should bring a water bottle.  We have water bottle refill stations
  • All common areas (e.g. lobby, bathrooms, and other high traffic areas) and commonly touched objects (e.g. door handles) will be cleaned/disinfected at a minimum every 2-hours throughout our hours of operation
  • All mat surfaces and training tools in the gym will be cleaned and disinfected, daily, via electrostatic spray and EPA approved disinfectant for Covid-19.   

​Coaching/spotting/masks
  • Our main priority is always safety.  Coaches will continue to monitor the physical safety of our students
  • Coaches will be required to wear a mask if they cannot maintain a safe, 6-foot distance from students/staff.  
  • Our staff will spot/help/assist students in their training
  • Students are not required to wear masks during physical activity (They are required to wear a mask during transitions, when not in class, and when physical distancing of 6-feet or greater is not possible). 
  • We strongly encourage all students to wear masks as often as possible.
