Parents are welcome to view classes from the Legends Café on level 2 at Quaycentre.  In doing so we ask that parents/guardians do not instruct/coach/photograph/film gymnasts from the viewing area.  These activities can be a hazard to gymnasts and a distraction to coaches on the gym floor.

Members of SOP Gymnastics Club are expected to adhere to and maintain a standard of behaviour which includes listening to and following instructions of coaches, respecting other participants, patrons, staff and equipment.  Misbehaviour impacts on the safety and wellbeing of participants and coaches alike, and is not acceptable as part of our club.  Members who misbehave; a) Will receive a verbal warning from the coach; b) If the behaviour continues, the gymnast will receive a second warning from a senior coach; c) If the behaviour continues, the gymnast will be asked to leave the class and the Head Coach/senior coach will speak to the parent/guardian at the conclusion of the session.  Where a parent/guardian is not present, the gymnast will be asked to sit out of the session until contact with the parent/guardian can be made.

Gymnasts, children, siblings, parents, guardians and all other patrons that attend the Quaycentre must act respectfully towards all others.
