Social Media Policy

Photo, Video and Social Media Policies: Protecting our Youth

In the interest of preserving the privacy, safety and well-being of all children and families participating in Dynamo’s programs, there will be no photography or video permitted during regular gymnastics programs.

Parents/caregivers will ONLY be permitted to photograph/video their own child during Presentation Week, (the LAST day of classes) and are only permitted to photograph their own child. Non-parents (friends, relatives and babysitters) must receive permission from parents of an athlete prior to taking photos/videos. Parents shall not publish photos/videos taken at Dynamo Gymnastics on social media/internet unless they specifically contain their child’s image ONLY.

If individuals are observed taking photos/videos during non-permitted programs times, our policy will be to request individuals stop taking photos/videos and request the photos/videos be immediately removed from the device.

Please note, Dynamo occasionally takes photographs/video of athletes for the purpose of marketing and/or club promotions, but will only do so with the expressed written consent of the athlete’s parent/guardian.

Flash photography is prohibited at any time, as flash can pose a risk of injury, as it temporarily blinds athletes.

The safety of our participants is of the highest priority, and if deemed necessary, we will report any unusual activity to authorities. We would also ask any member who suspects unusual activity, to report it to our staff.

We continually review and update our club policies to ensure the safety and well-being of all members.
