Child Protection Policy
Our child protection policy:
- Prohibits any form of abuse against children.
- Provides opportunities for our juniors to contribute to and provide feedback on our program development.
- Carefully selects and screens people whose role requires them to have direct and unsupervised contact with children.

TRYumph Gymnastics Academy requires that any child who is abused, or anyone who reasonably suspects that a child has been or is being abused by someone within our sport, to report it immediately to the police or relevant government agency as well as the the Business Manager and Head Coach.
All allegations of child abuse will be dealt with promptly, seriously, sensitively and confidentially. A person will not be victimized for reporting an allegation of child abuse and the privacy of all persons concerned will be respected.
If anyone bound by this policy reasonably suspects that a child is being abused by his or her parent(s), they are advised to contact the Children’s Aid Society.
Health and Safety Policy
Parents are responsible for ensuring that their children can meet the physical demands of participating in TRYumph Gymnastics Academy’s program(s) in which they are enrolled. Parents are to make coaches aware of any pertinent medical issues.
Change Room & Bathroom Policy
We have two change rooms, for the exclusive use of our registered participants. For the safety of the children there are NO adults allowed in the change rooms. Parents may supervise their own child in the changing room but must not enter if other children are present. If a parent is escorting their child to the toilet, please ensure no other children are present before entering.
If adults need to use the toilet, please check that there are no children in the bathroom before going in the washrooms. Under no circumstances will coaches take responsibility for supervising children in the changing rooms or toilets. NO MOBILE PHONES OR OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES CAN BE USED IN CHANGING ROOMS. A ‘child’ is anyone up to their 18th birthday. Many thanks for your understanding.
Viewing
As our viewing area is small, we will schedule 3 viewing times/ session. This way parents could see the progress of their child without being crowded. An email will be sent with the schedule by the end of the first week of the session. Please be kind and refrain making negative comments in the viewing area. If you have anything to say please talk to our front desk staff.
Footwear Policy
Each participant or persons entering our facility will be asked to remove their shoes upon arrival and place their shoes on our shelf in the lobby.
Student Attire Policy
We recommend students dress in comfortable active wear such as gymnastic suits, t-shirts, and shorts. Baggy clothing, items with strings, hoodies, jean shorts or shorts with pockets not permitted as they pose a hazard when participating in the gym. Students are required to have bare feet during practice.
Children are required* to be barefoot in the gym because socks/tights are slippery on various equipment and pose a safety risk. Please refrain from wearing rings, bracelets, necklaces, watches, and hoop or dangling earrings during practice. Small studded earrings are permitted. Any long hair should be pulled back with a headband, elastics, and/or barrettes.
Participants in Ninja and Fencing classes are asked to bring their indoor shoes in a bag.
Ninja Obstacle
Classes These classes require all athletes to wear clean indoor running shoes. If you do not have shoes for these classes, you will not be allowed to participate in the warp wall.
Accidents and Injuries
TRYumph Gymnastics Academy uses only top-quality equipment that is checked on an ongoing basis and to ensure it is in good condition. The coaches follow a program of safe use of the equipment and you can expect your child to be taught to use it properly. A child who does not follow the instructions of the coach and who does not use the equipment in a safe manner can hurt themselves or someone else. An infraction of basic safety rules may lead to disciplinary action.
Acute Injuries: Gymnastics is a strenuous and difficult sport and hence, even with the best coaching and the best equipment, injuries can occur. Our coaches are trained in sports first aid and we have well-defined procedures in case of injury. Gymnasts must inform their coach immediately if they are injured in any way. The coach will decide an appropriate action. For a minor injury: ice, rest and elevate. For major injury: prompt medical attention.
Injured gymnasts should meet with their coaches to plan a modified training program within the restriction of the injury. It is recommended that the gymnasts attend their regular training sessions as much as possible. Absence from class is physically and mentally detrimental.
Repetitive Stress/Strain Injuries: Some injuries do not come as a result of a specific incident but as a result of a serious of small incidents or other causes.
Any pain must be communicated by the gymnast to the coach. Where pain occurs during training, the training will be modified. If after a week of modified training the injury has not improved, the gymnast will be directed to get a sport medicine doctor and/or sport physiotherapist’s evaluation and modified training will continue.
