Our 14-color/level "Medallion Program" is designed based on the national system. The medallion itself is gold, while the color of the sticker indicates the child's progress. Each time a child earns an award (Step 1, Step 2, or Mastery), they have the opportunity to:
a) advance within their current color/level, or
b) progress to the next color/level.
Within each level, there are approximately 100 gymnastics skills spanning various events such as floor exercise, rings, vault, parallel bars, uneven bars, high bar, trampoline, pommel horse, and balance beam. These skills increase in complexity as students successfully master each subsequent medallion.
Achievement Program
The percentage range indicates the total number of skills that have been successfully demonstrated to an instructor. Upon mastering a level, a child will start training for the next level up. During the next evaluation session (refer to the class calendar), they will receive a new medallion. The medallions escalate in difficulty in the following order: Burgundy, Red, Tan, Bronze, Purple, Blue, Turquoise, Silver, Orange, Yellow, Green, Grey, White, and Gold.
Please note: Unclaimed medallions will be held at the office for 30 days following the awards week.
