FULL SAFETY GUIDELINES
General Principles . Floor Skills . Beam Skills . Supervision & Practice . Health & Injury . My Commitment
General Principles:
• My role is creative & instructional only — I am providing choreography, structure, and educational guidance. I am not your in‑person coach, personal trainer, or medical professional.
• In‑person supervision is essential — all new skills, high‑difficulty work, and advanced elements must be learned, practiced, and mastered under the direct supervision of a qualified, in‑person gymnastics coach.
• Warm up fully — minimum 10–15 minutes of light cardio + dynamic movement before any practice session.
• Cool down gently — static stretching, slow movement, and recovery time afterwards.
• Know your limits — progress at your own pace; never rush skills or attempt anything beyond your current proven ability.
• Rest when fatigued — tiredness increases risk. Stop before you become unsafe.
• Check your environment — clear space, suitable flooring, secure equipment, adequate height & width clearance.
• Appropriate attire — hair tied back, no jewellery, fitted clothing that won’t catch or restrict movement.
Floor Skills:
• Warm ankles, knees, hips & spine thoroughly before any tumbling or jumps.
• Only practice on suitable, even, padded surfaces — never tumble on hard concrete, tiles, or thin rugs.
• Land softly — bend knees to absorb impact; protect joints.
• Master skills in proper sequence — do not skip foundational progressions.
• Home practice = consolidation only — do not learn new tumbling skills at home without your coach present.
