We all need to remind ourselves of how far we've come once in a while.  Success is a reward in itself, but it certainly helps to have that pat-on-the-back and "way to go!" now and then to keep us motivated and give us some bragging rights.

So here at Planet, we have a system to help kids keep track of just how awesome they really are!  Each Boys and Girls class has a Skills Sheet listing the gymnastics goals they're working for. Now, we know that a lot of non-gymnastics, personal goals have to be reached for athletes to learn their skills, but a skill list is an easy, across-the-board way for us to reward success. Coaches keep a frequently updated Skill Sheet for each athlete in a box, which parents can check at any time.

And the rewards?  When an athlete "gets" all his skills, she'll be awarded a SuperStars Certificate and a medal or trophy.  Also, twice a year will be a Let the Stars Shine! event, where athletes get to strut their stuff for coaches, proud parents, and fans.
