 Club
Dress Policy
The Brentwood Trampoline Club Dress Policy exists to ensure that all
participants of trampolining activities can do so comfortably and safely in
accordance with BG’s guiding principles. It is intended to protect performers,
coaches and spotters from risk.
Training Wear
All participants (performers, coaches and spotters) should wear suitable
sports clothing, leotard, track suit, joggers, tee-shirts etc... as appropriate,
socks or trampoline shoes are essential. Any clothing that is excessively loose
or ill-fitting is discouraged.
Long hair must be tied back and restrained from flying in the face. No
glitter sprays or other glitter substances must be applied. Long nails must be
trimmed to a safe length unlikely to cause distress if caught in the trampoline
mesh.
Footwear worn before and after training or other events should be sensible
and facilitate safe movement around the floor whilst assisting coaches with mats
or other similar activities.
Jeans, buckles, prominent zips and buttons or other raised adornments are not
allowed since they are liable to either damage the trampolines or the performer
if they catch in the beds or the coach if working on support moves.
Beginners are encouraged to wear long sleeves and legs to avoid grazed elbows
and knees.
Competition wear
In addition to training wear requirements, which still apply, competitors are
expected to wear club strip at any competitions once competing at grade 5 or
above although it is preferred that even grade 6 competitors wear them. Red fleeces with the club logo
and name on are available through the committee.

Jewellery & body piercings
All jewellery and body piercing should be removed for trampolining
competition and training and preferably left at home to avoid risk of loss.
Taped jewellery will no longer be permitted under any circumstance and all body
piercing should be removed, even if it is under the leotard. This also applies
to spotters as well, who, as a matter of course, should be in suitable sports
clothing. BG competition rules state that:
- Chairs of Judges at competitions are asked to follow this rule very
strictly.
- Clubs need to speak to their performers about this, as children with
‘newly pierced ears will have to remove them if they intend to compete. It
is the responsibility of the club coach/team manager to ensure this rule is
followed.
