Awards Scheme
All of our recreational gymnasts go through the performance awards scheme. This scheme has been chosen to match the skills and development we work on throughout the year.
Performance Awards
Performance Gymnastics Awards consists of four categories: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond, with Bronze being the first for gymnasts to complete and Diamond being the last. Within each of these categories there are six levels of award to achieve with gymnasts starting on ‘Level 1’ and concluding with ‘Level 6’. Each level of award consists of ten different skills ranging from core gymnastics proficiencies to elements involving strength, flexibility, co-ordination and balance.
After completing each level of award (e.g. Bronze Level 1) a certificate is achieved. Once a gymnast completes all six levels in a category (i.e. they achieve their Bronze Level 6 award), they are rewarded with a medal.
How it works
-
Artistic gymnastics is well-reflected, apparatus (e.g. vault/beam) based skills are included at all levels of award
-
Purpose designed to utilise the present-day gymnastics environment, training tools (flick modules/beam pods etc) form a part of our awards
-
The awards include core gymnastics skills as well as productive elements to develop strength, flexibility and coordination all of which are designed with the overall progress of gymnasts in mind
-
Pair or group balance work is included at all levels of the award scheme, allowing gymnasts to both have fun and develop their teamwork skills
-
Each gymnast has a 'tick sheet' which is kept in the gym until all of their skills have been ticked. Once a level has been completed we will send a pass slip home to be completed and returned. After this has been returned we will hand out the certificate. Once all the categories in a level have been completed, gymnasts will receive a certificate.
When are gymnasts assessed?
Gymnasts will be assessed on the 4th week of each half term. Please try and ensure your child is in for the assessment weeks.
