Information for Gymnasts and Parents
Welcome to London Falcons - we are really pleased that you wish to join us.
SESSIONS
• Friday 4.45 pm – 6.15 pm
• Friday 6.15 pm – 7.45 pm
All our sessions are open access and open to all. We do not differentiate between adult recreational and adult performance so you can attend any session.
We hope that your gymnasts will work towards competitions, but there will be no pressure to do so if they would prefer not to.
Parents are welcome to stay and watch (although we might try to convince you to join in). Please do come and see how your children are progressing even if you don't come each week - and it's always nice to meet you.
We are very keen to train gymnasts to become coaches if they wish - we can support them through their coaching qualifications as needed.
We would very much appreciate help from gymnasts/parents with setting up and tidying away the trampolines - however please do not attempt to move any equipment without supervision and instruction from our coaches.
WHAT TO WEAR
We now have a club leotard - these are not compulsory.
These are priced at £45 for the leotard (£16 for matching shorts).Club members can purchase these for £35 and £10 . Leotards are compulsory for all competitions so if you would like to be entered in events and compete for the club in the future . Speak with John if interested. We also expect to have T shirts available in the near future.Alternatively:
- Please wear appropriate sports clothing (leggings, shorts, tracksuit bottoms plus a short or long sleeved top), or gymnastics leotard/shorts/trousers. Long sleeves and trousers are recommended when learning some skills (front landings in particular).
- Socks or trampoline shoes MUST be worn. Please check your socks don't have holes!!
- No hoodies.
- Trailing strings (waist ties on tracksuit bottoms usually) must be tucked inside.
- No jewellery may be worn. If you cannot remove earrings they should be taped over.
- Gymnasts who cover their hair should wear sports hijabs. There are many varieties of these available (try here for example) - please contact us if you have any issues accessing one. Gymnasts WILL NOT be allowed to compete with normal hijabs.
- Hair should be tied back securely.
