COVID-19 RESOURCES FOR COACHES, STAFF, AND EMPLOYERS

With the vast majority of parkour coaches and gym staffers being paid hourly, gym and organization closures due to COVID-19 will have devastating effects.

Parkour professionals should begin planning for a decline in workable hours and pay over the next 6-8 weeks as their employers grapple with the rapidly changing economic situation.

The United States Parkour Association has compiled some resources and recommendations for employees and workers facing loss of wages. We also have provided resources for employers to better help their employees and navigate business disruption.
