 At
All Starz Academy we have our own unique system of evaluating &
tracking our gymnasts’ progress: It’s called the Star
Incentive Program.
Every All Starz Gymnastic Student who is kindergarten age & older, is given an elastic belt, & placed in the program. The Star Program helps to motivate the students & to allow them to progress at their own rate as they earn stars. Currently there are 14 different class/belt levels at our gym. Every level has a total of 23 assigned “Star Skills”. 20 of the “Star Skills” are on vault, bars, beam, floor, & tramp. Plus, there are 3 additional stars for form, strength, & flexibility.
Every time a student masters a “Star Skill”, a coach
will give them a star at the conclusion of class. Stars may then
be sewn onto their elastic belt. Students will be promoted to the
next level upon receiving 20-23 stars- at the program director’s
discretion. (There is really no time frame for advancement to the
next level. It depends on the child’s natural ability, number
of hours of training each week, and their desire to achieve a higher
skill level).
Students are generally evaluated on one event per class. They must
be wearing their belt to be tested, & to be eligible to earn
any stars. Students who are not wearing their belt may still practice
& learn, but they will not be tested during that class.
“Star Skills Cards” will be sent home every 3 months
listing the stars a gymnast has received, and the skills they have
left to earn.
