eam Lightning Inc. dba Erie Gymnastics does its very best to provide a safe, clean & healthy environment for our athletes & families. The gyms are regularly cleaned & disinfected. With that said, we work with children ages 18 months - adult. Even the most diligent parent trying to educated their child in proper and safe hygiene methods struggle. Proper hygiene habit are a 'learned & practices behavior'. Children, especially young children have not learned all proper hygiene techniques yet. They may outright sneeze or cough without covering their mouth. They may forget to wash their hands. They have a natural curiosity about their world and want to explore their world with their senses... essentially wanting to touch everything in their reach. We believe that part of our job is to help the parent educate their children by reinforcing what is taught at home and reminding them to cover their mouth, use tissues provided, wash their hands after using the bathrooms.... However, it is impossibly for us as an organization / staff to police, monitor,... control all of their behaviors. It is equally impossible for us to visually know where every child has been, who they've been in contact with or with what. Our staff are NOT CDC Scientists nor Doctors with advanced laboratories and means to detect and therefore prevent the spread of contagious Viruses (Ex. COVID19 / Influenza, Colds...) Bacterial infections such as (Streptococcus / MRSA / ...) Fungal Infections: (Athlete's Foot / Ringworm...) / Parasitic & 'Critter' Infections (Lice, Ticks, Mosquitoes born illnesses...)
Even situations like the random Wasp or Bee that wanders into the gym. Many parents fill out our health / forms and list no allergies, however they may not know their child is allergic to a bee sting in that the child have never yet been stung.
We do not want neither your child nor our staff sick or ill from anything. Thus, we try to take 'reasonable' means to prevent the spread of disease & contagions. We however can not guarantee in any way that your child is completely safe in our schools from anything that can harm them. By checking this box you agree to hold Team Lightning Inc. dba it's staff, agents, management harmless in the event you or your child contract any & all infectious diseases. As well you agree to notify us if you/ your child contracted anything so that we may alert our staff and customers. You also agree to monitor your own children's health and isolate them at home when they are ill and get proper care from a Physician prior to returning to our program.
