State Team Training is compulsory for all NSW State Team Members, including athletes, coaches, chaperones and judges. The team’s Musculoskeletal screening which is required as part of travelling in the NSW State Team will occur during the state team training.

​

The team’s Musculoskeletal screening will occur during the state team training at a cost of $20.00 cash payable on the day to the physiotherapist. This screening has been introduced to ensure that the team’s physio is familiar with the team prior to the Australian Championships to ensure appropriate treatment and rehabilitation at the Australian Championships. The screening is also to confirm that athletes at the time of screening are fit to compete. All athletes must attend the State Team training with their completed screening forms which will be emailed to clubs before the training day. This form is required to have the relevant sections completed by their parent or guardian and a copy emailed to Gymnastics NSW prior to State Team Training. This form cannot be completed by nor signed by a coach. The gymnast is then required to have the completed unfolded form with $20 cash with them at State Team Training. If an athlete is not fit to train or does not pass their screening then they may be given an option to rescreen at a later date at the discretion of the screening physiotherapist. All rescreens will incur an additional cost.

​

Should an athlete sustain an injury prior to the Australian Championships, after the screening, the team manager and Gymsport ESDO must be notified of the injury, diagnosis and the recovery of the athlete. Full fitness clearance must be received prior to traveling with the State Team and be given by a nominated physio from the NSW Gymnastics pool of screening physios. Athletes who do not receive fitness clearance prior to their departure date will not be able to compete at the Australian Championships.
