Occasionally our coach will have us do conditioning if we are consistently failing to stick our tumbling passes/falling off the beam on easy skills/just generally flopping around and being lazy. Usually it's only if it's something we're focusing on for the practice, for example one day our coach might decide to really focus on sticking our tumbling and if we don't stick it we get 10 push ups or something. Often it's easy conditioning. We're often threatened with doing conditioning for the rest of practice but I've never seen that put into effect. xD
Nobody ever has to do conditioning as a punishment for not making a skill, per se, but they might have to do supplemental drills or exercises to help them make it.
I think that conditioning should not be used as a punishment. However, having kids sit out is sometimes ineffective as that is what they've been wanting to do anyway...
