All-Star Traditions

[Whit_Marieee]

As I was going through my countdowns today I realized I have exactly a month until I step off the mat for the very last time. It really upset me, but right now is the time when my gym starts going through with our traditions we do every year before nationals and for the seniors that graduate that year. Some things we always do are write letters and put them in a book for the seniors and everyone gets a copy. It's really emotional, but it's very sentimental and it's important to us. Then I got to wondering, what are some things other gyms do? Any traditions! I'm just curious. (:

Our gym recognizes the seniors at our end of year banquet and presents them with a gift. My cp's team also gave her a lovely necklace as a gift (she was their only senior.) That is a lovely thing your gym does and what a wonderful keepsake.

at my very last gym our coaches read out little speeches at our year end banquet about what they love the most about each graduating senior. they were so amazing and heartfelt i cried as soon as my coach started reading mine :oops:.

That's so sweet!!! I think I'd be a sobbing ball of snot if I got a book like that from my friends... Good luck with the rest of your season. Make it awesome!
