2015 RULES AND REGULATIONS British Gymnastics regulations as published in the 2015 National WTC Competition Handbook and 2015 Regional WTC Competition Handbook will apply to all H.G.A. competitions with any exceptions detailed in this handbook. Coaches and Club Leaders who wish to enter gymnasts into a Herts event are asked to read and take note of the following information. All coaches must have a current DBS and a Safeguarding & Protecting Children Certificate before being allowed to accompany gymnasts at competition
Apparatus: Competition apparatus available at Marriotts is to current FIG specification. Therefore clubs may not bring their own equipment to the competition venue, unless this is the hand placement mat for a Yurchenko vault.
Code of Behaviour The Regional Code of Conduct is applied across all disciplines and to all members of the region. Coaches and gymnasts are also subject to the code of conduct as detailed in the current Code of Points.
Competition Entry Entry forms will be sent to every club. If available they will also be posted to the Hertfordshire web site. Clubs may also enter gymnasts into a county competition by e mail provided all the details information required on the entry is also entered in the e mail. Should the Treasurer not receive the entry fee by the entry closing date as stated on the entry form, the late entry fee will be applied.
Fees Competition entry fee is £13.50 for Level 7 (floor and vault) and all 4 and 6 piece competition with the Recreational Apparatus competition being £3.25 per piece. Payment by cheque or bacs HSBC: name Hertfordshire Gymnastics Association sort code 40 37 19 Account 81025163 when remitting your cheque or bacs please send a copy of the entry by e mail or form to the treasurer Mrs K Williams [email protected] 306 Wisden Road, Stevenage SG1 5JE Gymnasts who qualify from a County qualifier to a Regional final will have the entry fee paid from County funds, provided sufficient monies are available. However, clubs will be charged the regional entry fee if their gymnast fails to turn up at the final.
Coaches When submitting entries for a BG event each club must ensure that the coaches attending to the participants are qualified to the level of the participants’ performance. The practice of supervising participants working above the level of the coach’s qualification cannot be condoned. The caveat that permits coaches to practice one level above their coaching qualification in the coaching syllabus refers to a training environment only and is not permitted at BG events.
