Gym safety (Not sure where you get pads and elbow braces)
Dr. Grant L. Jones and Dr. Brian R. Wolf of Stop Sports Injuries (stopsportsinjuries .org) say parents should make sure that coaches:
Have gymnasts wear safety gear, including wrist guards, hand grips, footwear, ankle or elbow braces, and pads.
Make first aid available at competitions and practices.
Inspect equipment to ensure it’s in good condition, including padded floors, secured mats under every apparatus and safety harnesses for learning difficult moves.
Insist on spotters when learning new skills.
