Beat the Bugs

Salta is in the process of installing new hand sanitation stations. All people are required to sanitise their hands prior to entering the building (front door station) and athletes are required to use the stations when they enter and exit the gym. I also encourage all athletes to wash their hands WITH soap before entering the gym, at break, and after gymnastics. After all, you just put your hands on a beam where EVERYONE has placed their feet.... EWWWWWWW!

Because of the H1N1 virus and with flu season around the corner we are asking that any athlete with any of these symptoms stay home:

1. Fever
2. Sore Throat
3. Cough

For more information on H1N1 please click here.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

What's in Your Gym Bag?

Please be sure to pack the following:

1. Deodorant- nobody likes a stinky gymnast!
2. Socks- for trampoline/break time
3. Small can of hairspray
4. Water Bottle
5. Wrist bands for Ankles and Wrists
6. *****a roll of Tape********
7. Grips
8. Elastics for your hair and brush
9. A healthy snack- something that doesn't require long heating time as we only have 10-15 minute break times
10. A bright smile and an eagerness to learn!
