That is awesome! I wish there were Adult Gymnastics meets in the USA. Is it possible for American adult gymnasts to compete at the adult gym meets in Canada?
Coach Howard has the best write-up I’ve yet seen on this important topic:
While the ideal solution would be to have at least one staff member who did nothing but general gym supervision, in much the manner that a pool lifeguard functions, most gyms cannot afford or afford to waste a full-time general gym supervisor.
Gym owners and managers will have to make the decision for themselves if they want to pay for a staff member just to do general supervision, but there should always be at least one senior coach who is assigned general supervision responsibility and all coaches and all staff members, including front desk staff, should be taught to scan the gym regularly for unsafe situations. …

In emergencies, especially, someone needs to be the final authority on when to call the ambulance. What to do in case of the unforeseen plumbing crisis (… that’s happened to me), etc.
WHO is in charge here?
Does your facility have a Gym Supervision Plan?
If not, best email this article to the folks running your club.

We want NO LINE-UPS with our Rec kids. Especially with boys who will invariably end up wrestling.
In my program I have a ‘no wrestling’ rule. The boys (especially) are not allowed to touch any of the other kids in the group, unless it’s required of the game or activity.

Ashleigh Storey, age-22, went back to gymnastics after 7yrs away:
In the week leading up to my first class, I was so nervous. I was scared I wouldn’t be able to do anything I used to and scared I might injure myself because I’m older, taller and generally a lot more unfit that I used to be when I first learnt my skills.
I had gotten in touch with another ex-gymnast from my old club who wanted to begin the classes too, which helped the nerves a bit, but I still had my stomach in knots when Tuesday came around. …
