25.01.2022 Dear members, As the COVID-19 situation evolves around Australia and within the ACT, CCGC is doing it's best to ensure the health and safety of our gymnasts and staff. With the announcement of 3 new COVID-19 cases in the ACT, and the new restrictions in place for people returning to the ACT from Victoria, we would like to remind our members of their responsibilities to help keep our club and community safe, both inside and outside the gym. ... -If you are returning from Victoria or Overseas you must quarantine for 14 days, as per the ACT Government guidelines -If you or a member of your household exhibits any symptoms, gymnasts must not come to training, and we strongly urge those with symptoms to get tested -Avoid large crowds wherever possible -When in public remain at least 1.5m away from others wherever possible -If travelling, ensure that your family is safe and aware of the situation in the area you are visiting -Follow best hand hygiene practices --Wash hands for 20 seconds before and after eating, after using the bathroom and after touching high contact areas --Avoid touching faces --Use hand sanitiser if water and soap are not available -If needing to sneeze or cough, do so into your elbow CCGC will be doing our best to ensure that our gymnasts and staff are protected by: -Continuing our new cleaning processes before, during and after sessions -Ensuring that gymnasts remain 1.5m away from one another wherever possible -Ensuring that gymnasts wash hands upon entering the gym and throughout their sessions -Not permitting parents into the facility unless needing to speak with office staff or coaches -We are monitoring the number of athletes in our facilities at any given time, and will be ensuring that we have no more than 100 in each facility. Recreation classes will continue for Term 3 as scheduled. While we are disappointed that restrictions will not be eased further this coming Friday, we understand that it is for the health and safety of our community, and support the ACT's decision to delay the Stage 3 easing of restrictions. We ask that any members who were at either Fyshwick Markets on Saturday 4th July between 3pm and 4pm or Belconnen Mall on Monday 6th July between 12pm and 12:30pm monitor their health and if they feel unwell not come into the gym and get tested as soon as possible. We hope everyone stays healthy and safe during this time. CCGC

23.01.2022 We're rolling into Easter this week in KinderGym! And at the same time, we're learning all about the Dominant Movement Pattern of Rotation Rotation is important as it develops spacial and aerial awareness, which are useful life skills. There are three axes of rotation, and without realising we're rotating all the time! We can rotate forwards/backwards, like in a somersault , sideways, like in a cartwheel, or vertically, like in a spin on your feet. ... It's incredible seeing our young gymnasts develop these skills in our KinderGym classes! If you want to re-enroll or book in for a trial next term, contact the office. #gymnastics #kindergym #startheregoanywhere #littlegymnastsdoingbigthings #ccgc #canberracitygymnastics

The young coaches were all so lovely and accomodating letting us move to each different apparatus to get a better view and to provide the certificates yesterday when we could be there was a lovely touch. Thanks so much for coming up with a way for us to still share in our kids achievements in such a strange year.

09.01.2022 Dear CCGC families, First of all we would like to thank you all for your continued support and assistance during this difficult time. We are thrilled to see so many families back in the gym and so many smiling faces enjoying the sport of gymnastics once again. As you are aware, when we re-opened in June we were under very strict guidelines from the ACT government surrounding numbers within our premises, and due to this parents and guardians of any athlete in kindergarten or... over were asked not to enter the gym unless needing to speak with the office staff. While we are permitted to have more numbers in the gym, at this time we are still not permitting parents to remain in the facility for the duration of lessons. At several times during the week both our facilities are almost at their capacities with our gymnasts and staff inside. Parents staying to observe may cause us to exceed our limits. If, during those times, we were to be audited by the ACT Government, we would be found in breach of our conditions of opening and may be forced to either pay a fine or close our doors again. Neither option is one we are able to sustain, and therefore we are required to be strict in our enforcement of this rule. Due to this, please ensure that once your child is at the gym, unless you have a need to speak with our office staff you remain outside the doors. Our coaches will ensure that your child will not leave the gym unless you are in view, and that they are safe upon entering the club. If you do have a need to enter the gym, please ensure you sanitise your hands and fill in our COVID-19 contact tracing form, ensuring that you leave the gym as quickly as possible. Our staff may request that you leave the facility during your child's session. We ask that you follow their directions as calmly and quickly as possible without disagreement or argument. Once the ACT transitions into Stage 3 easing of restrictions we will be reviewing our policy regarding parents being able to remain in the gym during training, based off the new restrictions on number of persons permitted in indoor spaces. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please let us know and we will do our best to answer them.

08.01.2022 Just a reminder to all our members to be aware, stay safe, stay home and get tested if you are feeling unwell or have visited Victoria or a NSW hotspot! Together we can get through this!

07.01.2022 It's so nice to see so many of our lovely recreational gymnasts back in the gym! With the restrictions easing to allow 100 people in the gym we are able to run a number of classes at once while maintaining social distancing, and we can wait to get back to full capacity!

07.01.2022 Any members who have been at the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club on Monday 13th July or Wednesday 15th July - Friday 17th July please quarantine and contact ACT Health and get tested for COVID-19 immediately. If you would be missing your class, please let us know and we can arrange for a makeup session once you are cleared. Thank you everyone for your support and understanding during this time.

07.01.2022 Just a reminder that if your little gymnast is in our Tigers class it’s your week to get to come in and watch their class!! We’ll be sending out reminders and Microsoft Teams viewing links each day for those who aren’t able to make it in. We look forward to sharing our gymnasts achievements with you all! #gymnastics #canberracitygymnastics #startheregoanwyhere

05.01.2022 12 months ago we were required to close our doors indefinitely in order to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. With gymnasts across all our programs becoming creative with their training via Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and YouTube, our community banded together to allow us to reopen 10 weeks later. It was a difficult and stressful time for many, and while we still aren’t back to regular viewing, we love seeing all our gymnasts back at training and doing what they love. As we reflect on the year that’s been, we’d like to thank everyone for their support and commitment to the club over the past 12 months. #covid_19 #canberracitygymnastics #gymnasticsaustralia #strongertogether #covidsafe

05.01.2022 Swinging into Autumn in KinderGym this fortnight! While we play with piles of leaves, splash in puddles, and jump over pumpkins, we're also learning the Dominant Movement Pattern of Swing. Swing is fundamental movement used in so many areas of life, whether it's swinging on a bar in gymnastics, swinging a bat in baseball, or swinging a leg to kick a ball, just to name a few! Understanding the motion and how to create, speed up, and slow down swing, is an invaluable life... skill. #kindergym #ccgc #canberracitygymnastics #swing #littlegymnastsdoingbigthings #startheregoanywhere

05.01.2022 We're so excited for our coaches and judges to be able to continue their education this year! Keep posted to GACT for more updates on planned courses for the remainder of 2020!

04.01.2022 Keep up the good work ACT! Your efforts have ensured that we are able to remain open and keep kids and adults active!

04.01.2022 **Attention all club members.** If any of you or your families have been in the affected areas outlined below, we'd sincerely appreciate if you can follow the advice of ACT Health to help to keep our club as COVID safe as possible. The ACT Government is telling Canberrans not to travel to the Sydney hotspots of Liverpool and Campbelltown. It's the same advice that was given almost three weeks ago about Melbourne hotspots, before community transmission of COVID-19 increased a...cross the city. ACT Health also has advised for anyone who may have been at COVID-19 affected locations in NSW: The Crossroads Hotel between 3 and 10 July The Picton Hotel on 4 July, 9 July, or 10 July Canberrans who've been to those locations on those dates are being told to isolate themselves immediately and get in touch with the COVID-19 Helpline via (02) 6207 7244. Anyone planning travel outside of Canberra should keep up-to-date on the latest travel advice with ACT Health saying circumstances can change at any time. We all need to play our part in ensuring the CCGC and the ACT remain as safe and COVID free as possible. To assist with contact tracing we support the use of the COVIDSafe App and encourage all members to download it. See more
