Changes in training 8.3.-14.3.

A big thank you to everyone for following the instructions last week! Our goal is to continue to bear our responsibility both in the fight against viruses and especially as an organizer of exercise and sports activities for young age groups. Exact instructions and their compliance are central to this work.

AVI stood by its decision, according to which private sports facilities can also be used for the activities of over 12-year-olds, as long as there are no more than ten people there at one time and the safety distances can actually be maintained.

Until then, we will continue training with the same schedule as last week. The biggest changes to our instructions are:

• We also require the use of a face mask during training for all enthusiasts over the age of 7
• People over the age of 12 register for training using the reservation system on our website

Please note that the situation can change quickly. We will continue to inform via the website, e-mail and Whatsapp information group.

A face mask is mandatory in training for over 7 year olds

We also require the use of a face mask during training for all enthusiasts over the age of 7. Persons with health impediments to wearing the mask are exempt from wearing it.

We require masks for the following reasons:

• More and more comprehensive evidence has been obtained for the use of masks to protect yourself and others when the virus spreads through the air
• The mutation virus also spreads effectively among children and young people
• We want to use all possible means so that training can continue safely in face-to-face teaching in the coming weeks 

We understand that using a mask can seem challenging during exercise, especially for younger children. However, for example, the young people who participated in the poom experiment wore the mask throughout the five-hour tough experiment.

The use of the mask can be taken as an additional challenge, which actually increases the aerobic load of the exercise. We also take the situation into account by planning the exercises to be lighter than usual and so that there are more breaks in them.

With children, the correct use of masks is practiced at the beginning of the exercise.

Those over the age of 12 register for training through a separate registration system

People over the age of 12 must register for training through a separate registration system:

Exercises are booked from the calendar. If there are already ten reservations in the exercise, you can no longer participate in it. Book a class only if you are sure of your participation and cancel the reservation in time if you cannot attend.

Also note:

• Guardians still cannot come inside the hall to watch the exercises
• No contact is made during the exercises and safety distances of 2 meters are maintained throughout the exercise
• It is the responsibility of all enthusiasts and coaches to follow the safety instructions:

• See all restrictions and recommendations valid in Helsinki:

Thanks to everyone for following the instructions!
