COVID-19 UPDATE: JUNE/JULY 2020

Hello Flipstar Families,

We continue to receive lots of information and guidelines with requirements for eventual reopening. As of this writing, we are neither permitted to reopen nor have been given an expected reopen date.

In an effort to be completely transparent with our community, the pictures posted on our Facebook page of the seven pages of requirements provided by the group representing Youth Club Sports for the state of Michigan. We also have a 14 page packet of requirements by one of our national governing bodies. We also are keeping current with the MHSAA guidelines (high school sports), in addition to guidelines provided by the CDC, OSHA, and other regulating bodies.

We will be sending an email survey to our current 2019-2020 Flipstar Members. Please take a minute to answer these few questions if you receive the survey. We will use all of this data (survey and guidelines described above) to determine what is best for Flipstar, with our #1 interest being the safety of families, children and staff and #2 interest being the effectiveness of instruction.

The bottom line is... We want kids to have fun and receive quality instruction while being able to execute the instructions safely in an environment that meets the stringent Covid-19 safety requirements implemented at such time.

We will probably reopen in stages, beginning with the older kids on our competitive teams. These kids will be our test cases for how effectively instruction is given, received and executed while social distancing and meeting equipment cleaning guidelines.

This has not been an easy time for anyone. We fully acknowledge and understand that different people are on different pages regarding the varying degrees of personal protection, if any, that are preferred. Flipstar will always err on the side of SAFETY. Keeping the families and kids who enter our building safe is paramount. We will always do our best to earn -and keep- your trust. We take it personally. Always have. Always will.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We will keep you informed as developments happen. If you wish to reach out to us, please send us a private message here on Facebook or email us directly at FlipstarGym@gmail.com.

In health,

Aimee & Amy, Owners of Flipstar Gymnastics, Ludington
