The certificates show a list of all the skills we are aiming for the kids to master in the gymstar program with a star in the box for every skill achieved. The skills are marked progressively throughout the block; gymnasts will need to have been present for at least 7 weeks to receive a certificate. I have been very pleased with the results of all the kids, it has been great to see some of the more difficult skills mastered.
