PREPARATION + TOUR RULES PREPARING FOR COMPETITION Proper preparation is the key to success. Please: 1. Reserve the day before your competition exclusively for team practices. 2.Book any sight-seeing opportunities or shopping trips for after competition. 3. Keep athletes in the usual routine they would follow at home in terms of meals, sleep and drinking water. Why? Making changes ie walking everywhere when you are not used to this, eating different foods at different times and going to bed late has a detrimental impact on athlete performance. TOUR RULES 1. Safety first: We don t want anyone to be stolen, lost or left behind. So always let someone know where you are going and when you will be back even if it is just to go to the toilet, or to buy a drink. Remember Stranger Danger, don t take candy from strangers and watch out for the Big Bad Wolf lurking in the shadows. So always travel in a group of 3 even if you are moving from room to room within the hotel. 2.Curfew: Curfew time is set by team management and will be advised at the team meeting/on the team notice board. You must be in your room at curfew time, rest and bed times are important especially prior to competing. Room checks are done and if you are not in your assigned room this is cause for a disciplinary warning. 3. Uniform and Clothing: You are required to wear the correct attire when advised this is to represent your Gym with pride, to also look like a professional team and be easily recognisable. 4. Be on time: Be on time for everything, as we are traveling as a group it is important to respect other peoples time. The tour is planned to a strict timetable so please be aware of timings for transport, meals, meetings and practices. 5. Chaperones: All Athletes aged 17 or under (at time of travel) MUST be accompanied by a parent or chaperone. If a parent is not traveling then it is the Athletes responsibility to find an adult chaperone (21years or older) who is traveling and agrees to take full responsibility for the Athlete. Chaperones agree to take full responsibility for the athletes in their care and understood that The Gym assumes no responsibility and holds them faultless for any tour mishaps. Athletes please respect and be courteous to your chaperone, remember it is their tour too. Chaperones if you have any behaviour trouble with any athlete please advise management, we will handle the discipline and it is typically better coming from us. Prior to competing the focus needs to be solely on the competition. So we ask that chaperones supervise athletes and ensure they avoid excessive walking and running around. Shopping, sightseeing and day trips need to be left until after competition. Chaperones we also ask that you avoid drinking and smoking while you are with your athletes.
