General Gymnastics Rules 2021-22 Season

1. Wear a leotard everyday. 
2. Remove jewelry before entering the gym to prevent loss/theft.  NO jewelry is allowed for meets!  
3. Hair (including BANGS) must be pulled up and free from face everyday.  Be sure hair does not fall out during a routine!  We want to practice how we will perform, and moving hair off your face during a meet will result in a .1 deduction each time.
4. All gymnasts MUST have a locker and all non-gymnastics stuff, including school bags  and other clothes will be kept in it.
5. BE ON TIME— Practice starts at 3:30 pm.  Bring all workout materials into the gym the first time you enter.  (Exception for HS bus)
6. Must be in school to practice or compete that day. Talk to the head coach to prearrange absences/tardies. School events excused.
7. Respect the Coaches – If you do not understand what is being asked, ask for clarification.
8. Respect the Equipment; it is expensive to replace!  NO pop, gum, or junky snacks in the gym.  Absolutely NO food on the floor or mats!       
9. Must be in practice the day before a meet to compete. 

10.   Call or email the day of a meet if you are sick or unable to be at the meet.   This allows a teammate to compete in your place.

11.  Report all injuries to a coach no matter how small they may seem.  Rolling out and icing should be done at the end of practice, if possible.

12. Respect your team, coaches, and yourselves on any/all social media.  Failure to do so will result in a code of conduct violation (2 weeks/meets out) 

13.  ELIMINATE YOURSELF FROM ANY ENCOUNTER WITH ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, OR DRUGS.  *Colleges look at social media/ Guilt by association
