Recently coaches have observed that young children watching their older brothers and sisters training on the mat are accessing the club’s gymnastic equipment (bricks, foam cylinders, rings etc) to occupy their time whilst waiting for their siblings. Parents, please understand that the 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 used as part of a scheduled class under coach supervision.
