Happy New Year  

Take a moment and think of all the things you have accomplished this year! Really, right now list ten important things you had on your gym to do list that you accomplished and spend a moment congratulating yourself. We all need to do that before we delve into what comes next-another to do list for 2012.

Some of the items on your list might (and probably should) include the following:

1. Check your organization plan to order and make sure it meets the needs of your business plan and follows the professional standards and guidelines of USA Gymnastics.
2. Review your staff's job descriptions and make sure someone's includes supervising the scheduling of classes, team practices and meets.
3. Make sure you review your written policies for employees and participants concerning the operation of the program.
4. Review your procedure of reporting any accident or injury to students or employees or visitors.
5. Check your equipment evaluation records to make sure maintenance records include any new equipment you may have purchased during the past year, and identify any building maintenance problems.
6. Evaluate your procedures for approving work schedules, sick and vacation leave and assigning employees to work overtime as required.
7. Evaluate the training needs of your employees and identify appropriate training conferences or workshops they will need to attend.
8. Review your policy how to properly supervise anyone inside your facility and how to make sure your facility is not overcrowded.
9. Review your knowledge of local, state and federal laws, rules and regulations pertaining to employment including procedures for reporting a work-related injury or illness, rules for overtime, compensatory time, sick and annual leave, disciplinary procedures, laws pertaining to discrimination and harassment, and the American with Disabilities Act as needed to supervise subordinates.
10. Review your procedures for budgeting and techniques to include projecting and tracking expenditures and revenues as needed to prepare, administer, and monitor the operation budget.
11. Review the physical hazards and safety precautions of recreational and competitive gymnastics as needed to help prevent accidents and serious injuries.
12. Review/Revise your personal management practices such as documentation of performance and performance problems, conflict resolution, counseling techniques, and positive discipline as needed to manage and supervise employees and ensure their productivity.

Before you know it, you will be filling out entries to state meets, regional and hopefully national meets. Now is the time, the best time to review/revise what may help keep you successful and worry free.

Take the time and start 2012 off with peace of mind. What better gift can you give yourself and those who depend on you!
