when I was with CEA, we had a banquet at a hotel, and ate dinner & everything there. We each got a team certificate with our accomplishments on it. Then our coaches would give speeches, and it would be for an award, and somebody would get each one.
They would say something like 'I've seen this little girl since she was 6 at tumbling, so dedicated!...goes to --" and everybody got one. OH, and everybody that had been there for 5 years or longer got a 'five year award' every year. It was a trophy that said '5 years at CEA', or something like that. I've got 3 for my 7 years. :)
my new gym is basically the same. but instead of trophies, we get a certificate & specialty award, and a CD of all our performances all season :)
