Code Of Dress
Virtue follows the British Gymnastics Code of Dress for activities which is designed to safeguard the participants and coaches. Our Code of Dress should be adhered to during training and events, but sensitivity to religious convictions regarding dress will be demonstrated.
Virtue does not authorise or condone unsafe clothing and consequently the wearing of unsafe clothing will invalidate your child’s insurance and therefore they will not be able to participate in their session.

BODY PIERCING AND BODY JEWELLERY
Jewellery and adornments worn in body piercing are inappropriate for safe practice in training and coaching. A person with body adornments or jewellery must inform the coach and also remove the relevant items to reduce the risk of injury to the participant, the coach and others. This includes all body piercings.
Failure to do so will prohibit the individual’s participation on the grounds of reasonable safety. Failure to comply with the policy may render the individual’s insurance invalid should an accident result from non-compliance with this policy.
Newly pierced stud earrings need to be covered with protective tape but must be removed after six-weeks. After 6 weeks earrings HAVE to be removed.
Failure to adhere to any policies will result in disciplinary action and may lead to suspension or exclusion from the club. Virtue reserve the right to remove or refuse membership to any one who fails to adhere to our policies.
