Phase 1 (June 1): Teams only in limited group sizes and limited time in a gym
Phase 2 (mid-June?): Limited Recreational (including Ninja & Preschool) classes

RSGA Return to Sport Safety Guidelines

Dear Rising Stars Families,

We hope all of our families are staying safe and remaining optimistic. Our students and families’ health and well-being continues to be our first-priority. Our staff is working hard to prepare the gym for reopening when it is safe and when we are permitted to do so. We very much look forward to reconnecting with everyone and we are optimistic that we will emerge from this stronger than ever.

We would like to share with you our plans for reopening. Due to the impact of COVID-19, we recognize there are many new procedures required to conform to social distancing requirements and the need to maintain high cleanliness standards.

The attached document lays out the tentative protocol that will be in place upon reopening. It prioritizes the health and safety of our students, staff, and families. They are subject to change as we move forward in this environment. As we get more direction from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), necessary changes will be sent to you. Our Reopening Protocol has been thoughtfully developed in collaboration with the MN State Gymnastics Board.

During Phase I, we will start with a small number of athletes (JO & Xcel gymnasts) and then in Phases II and III, we will include more athletes (Progressive and Preschool students) and increase the allowed capacity. We will get schedules out to families as soon as they are finalized.

While we are confident in our safety precautions, we want to be clear that if any family does not feel comfortable returning, we understand and will work with them individually.

Although we do not know the exact start date of implementing this plan, it is our goal to be as transparent as possible as we return to the gym. To accomplish this, we will continue to communicate with you frequently with updates via email and on our website and Facebook.

We look forward seeing our families and athletes, again, in a safe gym environment!

RSGA Return to Sport Safety Guidelines

RSGA Families,

Following the order of Governor Walz on March 25, 2020, Rising Stars will continue to be temporarily closed for the time being. As of Monday, March 16th we have paused all accounts. Once we have reopened we will be flexible with our make-up policy or any unused tuition will be credited to your student’s account. Keep checking our Facebook and website for any updates. Please contact us via email (office@risingstarsgym.com) with any questions.

As a small business, this has been an interesting few weeks filled with many difficult decisions. We sincerely appreciate everyone’s support and patience as we navigate this new situation together. As soon as the restrictions are lifted, we will be here eagerly waiting to welcome everyone back into the gym!

Hello RSGA Families,

We are continuing to monitor the situation, and while we were hoping to reopen next Monday, March 30th, with the new restrictions in place that is unlikely to happen. As soon as the restrictions are lifted we will be here eagerly awaiting to welcome everyone back into the gym!

In the meantime, here are a few updates of what we have been doing around the gym in preparation for reopening. We have kept our doors open to any coach who would like to continue working during this time. They have been busy developing at-home workouts and conditioning for all levels (from preschool all the way up to our Xcel and JO Team girls) – keep an eye out in for an email from us! If we do not have your email address on file and you would like to receive the emails, please contact us at office@risingstarsgym.com with you name and your kiddos name and level.

In addition to working on at-home workouts, we have all been deep cleaning the building, and maintaining our equipment. We have also installed a brand new water fountain in the lobby – one that includes a spout to fill water bottles! We cannot wait to have kiddos back in the gym to break it in!

We know this can be a scary time for everyone, especially children. Click here for a link from the USAG website on how athletes can cope with the changes happening due to the COVID-19 virus. Stay positive, and stay healthy everyone!
