Earls Gymnastics Halesowen Trial Information

Welcome to Earls Gymnastics!

Following on from your child’s trial session, we will be in contact to confirm their place and go through the joining process with you.

Below are our procedures for classes — please familiarise yourself with these before your child’s first session. It may be helpful to share this information with your child as well.

Car Parking & Arrival

• Car parking for parents is located at the main entrance to Earls High School, just off the roundabout on Furnace Lane.
• Please see the map below showing where to park and where to enter the building.

• From the car park it’s a small walk to the gymnastics centre.
• Turn right out of the car park, it’s a small walk along the pavement to the gymnastics centre (grey building)
• Please arrive promptly for your child’s session — if they are more than 10 minutes late we will unfortunately not be able to permit entry due to health and safety.

Entry & Registration

• Entry and registration is at the main entrance foyer at the front of the building.
• Please wait in the foyer until a coach opens the door for registration shortly before the session starts.
• Once registered, your child will be shown where to go inside the gym.

Parent Viewing

• There is a designated viewing area alongside the gym.
• Please ensure your child has been registered at the door before proceeding to the viewing area.
• Parents are welcome to stay but are not required to remain on site during the session.

Toilet Access

• Toilets are located in the parent viewing area and are available for both children and adults.
• If your child needs the toilet during the session, we will open the registration door to allow them to leave the gym to use the toilet.
• We recommend that parents stay on hand to assist their child if needed.
• Once your child has used the toilet, please ring the doorbell at the registration point and a member of staff will let them back into the gym.
• Please note that the gym doors remain locked during sessions for the safety and security of all children.

Dismissal & Collection

• Collection takes place from the side door at the other side of the gym — please make your way around to this door shortly before your child’s session finishes.
• Exit the viewing area the way you entered and wait in the staff car park for your child to be dismissed via the side door.
• Staff will ensure your child is ready with their shoes and coat before dismissal.

What to bring

• Clothing: leggings or shorts and a t-shirt or leotard (no jeans, skirts, zips or buttons please).
• Jewellery: No jewellery allowed — earrings removed or taped. Watches/Fitbits must also be removed. Religious jewellery must be covered by a sweatband if it cannot be removed.
• Hair: Long hair must be tied back securely.
• Drink: Please send your child with a drink in a watertight bottle.
• Coats/shoes: Your child should bring a coat/jacket and shoes which they will remove before entering the gym.
