Safety and good practice

Use properly maintained gymnastics equipment and suitable landing surfaces. Follow qualified instructors' guidance, respect individual ability and progress gradually. Do not attempt advanced skills, flips, vaults, trampoline routines or unsupported partner lifts from online instructions alone. Stop training when injured or unwell and seek appropriate professional advice.
