Blanchardstown Operating Procedures

Please make sure to read this as it contains all necessary information on how our indoor sessions will operate and how you can co-operate with us to help keep everyone involved in the classes safe.


Registration

  • Upon registration you will receive an email containing a screening form. You will need to complete this before we can confirm your place.

  • You may be required to provide more information after completing the form.

  • Places cannot be held until payment is made. This is to ensure we are not withholding places for someone else that wants to sign up.

  • Upon sign up you are not paying for the session, but for the reservation of the space in the class. We cannot offer a per class rate due to the limit of numbers possible in the group sessions.

Arrival

  • Before arriving each parent will have to check their child’s temperature and text our class co-ordinator to indicate there has been NO CHANGE in their child’s health or temperature.

  • Please arrive at the car park.

  • One of our coaches will be at the door. Please do not enter the building until indicated to do so by one of our coaches.

  • We will have a temperature check upon arrival.

  • When the participant has entered the building they will be instructed to go to our hand sanitizing station.

  • To keep social distancing we will have areas set out for participants to wait before we start and take attendance. These will all be 2 metres apart and everyone will be expected to maintain that distance during the session.

Class Session

  • We will have six participants max in each session.

  • These will be split into two groups of six and will have one coach for each group.

  • Our unit has two floors. During the session the groups will be split into two areas, one will be downstairs and one will be upstairs. They will switch after twenty minutes.

  • We will have exercise areas setup for each participant. They will be asked to stay within that area as it will keep them 2 metres apart and maintain social distancing.

Equipment

  • If possible, it would be great if participants could bring their own mat for the floor, yoga mats etc.

  • We will be using a Calisthenics Equipment, pull-up bars etc. When using this, all coaches will be wearing PPE Equipment in case they have to spot kids for both the coach and child’s safety.

  • The equipment will be wiped down, before, during and after the session.

Collection

  • At the end of the session kids will be asked to wash their hands again.

  • Please arrive promptly at pick up time so that there is no cluster at the door etc with the next group arriving.

  • We will ask the group to go back to the area set out at the start for them to wait in.

  • Our coach will instruct one participant at a time when to come to the door and exit the building.

  • We ask that parents/guardians can wait by their car and we will instruct the child to go safely across to them for collection.

If there is failure to abide by these rules and if we feel someone is causing the class to be unsafe we will remove the person from the class. We want to create as safe an environment as possible for all involved and if somebody is disrupting that, it is for the well-being of everyone else that they will be removed.

We appreciate your co-operation throughout all of this as we do our best to work within Covid-19 guidelines and ensuring a safe return to sport.

If you have any further questions please let us know.
