When teaching kids, finding ways to motivate them can be very challenging especially when you have such a diverse group of youngsters. Positive reinforcement works best, but there are times when the kids just don't seem to care. Giving them free time if they behave well & finish their conditioning early (but still done well), play a game at the end of practice, or even a special treat for getting new skills. Of course, they all want to compete well and learn their routines and new skills, but sometimes they all need that extra push.
What other tactics do you use on motivating gymnasts?
