Stars & Belts
The Star Program alone offers a great incentive, but stars & belts are the ultimate reward. Some gyms hand out certificates, stickers, or paper stars and some gyms do not reward anything.
When your gym starts handing out Stars and Belts, you will see "excitement" like never before. The word will spread around the community. Your gym will be known as the place to go for childrens' gymnastics. Parents & kids will begin walking in the door asking questions about your program.
If your program is not already awarding Stars, you need to give it a try. Your retention will dramatically increase and I have found that the percentage of sign-ups from trial lessons and free lesson coupons has increased to about 90%. When the trial kids see the other kids earning stars and they don’t receive any, they usually "force" their parents to enroll them.
Your skill program is not complete unless you award the real thing. Stars and Belts are the real incentive to any skill program.
The stars & Belts (girls), & Wristbands (boys) provide the Incentive and the Excitement. The girls wear elastic belts Belts and the boys wear wristbands. Embroidered "stars" are given to the children for every completed "Star Skill" that they learn. The belting is a 1" elastic material that comes in many bright colors. The Stars are high quality 3/4" embroidered. All colors are available.    Ordering information is supplied with your purchase.
Stars will be awarded after each class. The Stars, Belts, and Wrist Bands will be awarded at no cost to the gymnast, however gymnasts who lose their stars or belts will need to purchase replacements.
When students enroll at the Academy they are given a White Belt (girls) or White Wrist Bands (boys), complete information on the Star Award Program and the White SkillBook. Included is a list of the Star Skills.
The skills at each level encompass a large range of difficulty. Most of the skills are lead-ups or progressions for the more difficult skills. This means that some of the easier skills must be learned before the harder skills can be learned.
ONCE A GYMNAST HAS 16 OR MORE STARS HE/SHE IS ELIGIBLE FOR EVALUATION. (You can change the number need to advance.
Advancement - If a gymnast tests successfully, he/she will also be given the New Belt or Wrist Bands for the next level. The gymnast may begin working toward the Star Skills for the next level.
