Child's Safety

The steps we take every day to keep your child safe.

At Power in Motion, your child's safety is our top priority. Here are some of the steps we take to make Power in Motion a safe place for children of all ages:

  1. All staff, coaches, and volunteers undergo a thorough U.S. background check for criminal or civil matters, plus mandatory USA Gymnastics background checks — reviewed before any employment is offered.
  2. We have daily on-site management presence during morning, afternoon, and evening practices, closely monitoring staff and activities. Contact our management team anytime with questions or concerns.
  3. Preschool and Recreational classes are always open to parent viewing. Team parents are invited to view portions of practice, though constant viewing of full team practices is discouraged so athletes can focus. The front desk and numerous staff are always present for supervision.
  4. We have a strict policy prohibiting any one-on-one interaction between staff and a minor — including lessons, meetings, travel, locker rooms, or medical care. Please pick up children promptly; if running late, contact us so two employees remain with your child.
  5. Our facility is equipped with cameras inside and outside for constant supervision.
  6. Staff training includes education on appropriate spotting techniques, with a signed document identifying "no spotting zones" on a gymnast.
  7. Staff are prohibited from using electronic communications, including social media, with students in any insulting, disruptive, offensive, or harassing way.
  8. Our facility is equipped with an AED, and over 90% of staff are CPR/AED certified — at least one certified individual is present during every class or event.
  9. All staff complete the USA Gymnastics Safe Sport Course, covering forms of child abuse, reporting prohibited conduct, and prevention policies. See usagym.org/safesport.
