For the first training session, parents can come along to watch the child's class (with the exception of corona restrictions). The parent takes the child to class and during the class the child moves under the guidance of an instructor or coach. The exception is family exercise groups, where the parent moves with the child during class. At the end of the class, the parents pick up the child either from the locker room or from the yard of the training place, depending on the age of the athlete. During the season, we invite parents to follow the training and exercise together with the children, so that the parents get to know the activities of the group. We encourage parents to move around during their children's activities as well, instead of waiting in the locker room. If a child doesn't want to exercise alone without their parent, we encourage them to find hobby courage in our club's family exercise groups. This way the child can get to know exercise and hobbies safely in the company of their own parent.

If, in the opinion of one of the parties, the situation requires more extensive processing, the executive director of the club should be contacted.

All adults involved in the activities of our club act in an exemplary and responsible manner, promoting a positive training atmosphere to support the activities of children and young people.

Each enthusiast's path is individual and changing groups is possible. The most important thing is that every hobbyist finds a suitable form of hobby for himself and his family. The best way to change a group is at the end of the training season, but you can also discuss group changes in the middle of the season with your instructor or coach. Our coaches will also help you find a suitable group if necessary.

If you end your participation in our club, we hope you will notify the instructor and coach of your own group as well as in writing to our club office toimisto@scvantaa.fi.

Many gymnastic sports require many hours of training from a young age, so it is important to pay attention to nutrition and health from childhood. When growth is at its most intense, the physical development of a young athlete is rapid, and the energy consumption due to the increased amount of training is usually high. The primary nutritional goal for a young gymnast is to ensure sufficient energy intake to support good training. SC Vantaa organizes nutritional training for its gymnasts in connection with the camps every season. The Finnish Gymnastics Federation has published healthy gymnast nutritional material, which you can find here.

The physiological and psychological load that accumulates from training and other aspects of life also requires sufficient time for the body to recover. High-quality night sleep, sufficient and varied nutrition and good fluid balance promote recovery. Our club's coaches carefully plan the balance of training load and recovery, but it is important to monitor each gymnast's individual recovery at home as well.
