ArtSports Safety Rules
Adults are prohibited from any equipment including
the pits and all trampolines
1. Only participants with signed waivers & an understanding of "ArtSports
Safety Plan" are allowed on gym floor. This includes any parents helping
on the gym floor. A "Safety Walkaround" is necessary for all field
trips and parties.
2. Jewelry, belts or any objects that may get caught on equipment must be placed
in cubbies.
3. Shoes are not allowed on trampolines & socks are not necessary. Actually,
socks make the black bed tramps very slippery. Confidence is better without
socks. Cheerleaders may have tennis shoes on black beds.
4. Listen to your instructor and ask how to do something before trying it on
your own. Parents and adults should let instructor (s) give advice on skills
and readiness for new skills.

a flipping skill without help from an instructor. Parents are not allowed to
spot or assist children. Please ask for a professional instructor.
6. Foam Pits can be a very dangerous area. Caution must be used around foam
pits. Always check in and around pits to see if anyone is in or going into the
pit. No hiding in pits. Rolling into pits is the safest way to enter. Foam Pits
are not like water, DIVING into pits may injure your neck or spine. Throwing
kids into pits may severely injure them. Always enter pits from one direction
at a time. All other entries should be closed off.

while another person is already on, may rebound that person through the air,
causing severe injury.
8. Learn to walk around trampolines, no short cuts over tramps and landing areas.
Jumping from tramp to tramp is very dangerous, may cause severe injury and is
not allowed.

bounce.
