Unfortunately this is a recurring problem which we need to address. Signs will be placed near the equipment stored adjacent to the mat – parents please observe them. Young siblings of athletes training on the mat have been accessing the club’s gymnastic equipment (bricks, foam cylinders, rings etc) to occupy their time. Parents, please understand that this equipment has not been purchased for this purpose. PLEASE do not allow your children to use this equipment. It has been purchased by the club to assist coaches in developing our youngest judoka and some of this equipment has suffered excessive wear and tear as the result of this use. Junior club members are also prohibited from using this equipment unless it is used as part of a scheduled class under coach supervision.
