awards

DD is only 5 and is already in need of a way to display her awards. She already has 3 trophies, 8 medals, and an array of ribbons. Currently, they are on her dresser, and her little brother likes to take the medals and wear them around the house - it's cute, but he's taking the medals off the...

Reading a few threads I gather that in the US more awards are given out at competitions. And I remember seeing a video once of kids getting medals at 8th place or something. So what is the general rule in the US and what sort of percent get something? Here it's medals for top 3 (apparatus and...

It's that time of year at my dd's gym club where they get a chance to earn a badge. My daughter is currently on badge 3 and the skills she will be tested on are : Skip for 45 secs, Japan flat ( chest on the floor), Headstand with knees bent and lower into a frog balance, Tuck Jump, Headstand...

Just a couple questions regarding team awards. How many boys does it take to make a team? My son is a Level 6 9 year old. A couple times this season, him and two other boys were separated from the rest of the team which has 6 10 year old boys. In the last competition, they younger boys did...

I am currently a gymnast and our team banquet is coming up. A few of my team members wanted to make awards to give to the coaches. Any Ideas?????:confused:

Can someone explain this to me? The awards go out different percentages per age group. Is this normal? 8 year olds 100% 9 year olds 50% 10 year olds 34% 11- not up yet 12 year olds 24% 13 year olds 29% 14 not up yet 2009 USAG NEW YORK STATE LEVEL 7

Hi All, I read the thread about video taping other gymnasts, which was a really interesting discussion. It brought another thought to mind. I tape only my DD during the competitions, but I also tape awards. I usually start recording where she gets placed, and then stop at the salute, for...

I like the idea of a participation ribbon or pin, something to remember a meet by. But I too wonder if too many awards take the shine off winning and therefore the drive to improve. We, up in Quebec, still only do medals for 1-3 (and they are bronze, solver and gold) and ribbons to 8th place...

OK I posted in the thread of Bug's 2nd level 5 meet that the roster and her score card said she was in the 8 and under age group, but they did awards as 9 and under. Results are posted today, and her scores are posted in 8 and under. So instead of having awards based on 40 girls (15 in 8 and...

I'm gathering some ammunition to bring to our state board in the next two weeks as they begin organizing our State Championship. I would like to ask four questions: 1) On average, about how many places out does your state recognize at State Championships? (examples: Top 3 only, or 50% of the...

I'm considering doing some end of year "fun type" awards for a group of girls that I coach. Things along the line of most improved, quiet achiever etc. Does anyone have any other ideas that I could use? I would need 8!! Help and suggestions appreciated! :)

Since Abby changed gyms, she won't get to go to the awards banquet and she is a bit bummed about it, but I know she won't remember that it is happening as I took it off the calendar. I don't know what awards she would have gotten besides a level 4 pin, so I am trying to put together her own...

Even in the lowers levels? Here they seem to (so I've only been to one meet, allright) only do "places" for the teams.... they bring out the podium and award first, second and third to the teams but the individual girls just get a colored ribbon depending on what their scores were... blue for...

At the meet this weekend I tried to keep score for most of her team mates. I was miss a few scores but try to get as many as I can. After DD was done I tallied up her all around score but didn't for anybody else on the team. I din't know how DD had done but thought she might have a chance for...

Out of curiousity how many places do most meets give awards too both in the AA and in the four events. For example 1st to 6th place get medals. Do they usually go out the same amount of places for the AA and the events?

This has probably already been discussed before, so if so, feel free to redirect me. Even though my girls haven't begun competing yet, with two swimmers in the house and all of the other ribbons and awards my kids seem to accumulate and will likely continue to accumulate, I was wondering if...

WHat a disaster! We just went to a meet (Level 4) and the tallies/scores for the gymnasts who got awards were wrong. They showed our girls with "0.0" on floor, when actually we got 9.35, 9.25...some of the higher scores. Additionally, when a coach went up to correct a score/award, they actually...

Okay if any of you have been incharge of ordering metals and awards for meets at your gym... who did you use? Even if you didn't do the ordering, out of all the medals your daughter has won, which are her favorites? Can you attach a picture? Just trying to get ideas.
