WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF SOMI+FLIC!
YOUR ONE STOP SHOP FOR GYMNASTICS AWARD SCHEMES AND LESSON PLANS
The Somi + Flic Awards Scheme series was developed by gymnastics coaches who were frustrated by the lack of creativity, structure and breadth of gymnastics coaching in the UK.
Over a number of years they developed and experimented with different ideas finally settling on the Awards Scheme you see today.
There are 6 books in the scheme divided into Pre-School and Recreational ages. Each Awards Scheme has it’s own Awards Books, Medals and in some cases Certificates. All of these products can be branded with your own logo and can be easily purchased on this website. More information about the schemes can be found below.

RECREATIONAL SCHEME
THE ODYSSEY COLLECTION
An "odyssey" refers to a long and adventurous journey, often marked by numerous challenges, experiences, and changes. The term originates from ancient Greece which is also where Gymnastics originated from! Over time, the word "odyssey" has come to represent any prolonged and eventful journey, often with a significant personal or transformative aspect. This scheme builds on our theme that every gymnast is on a journey to reach their full potential. The Odyssey Awards Scheme reflects this vision perfectly and will serve as a personal record of the gymnast’s own Odyssey.
These awards books are designed to work on a number of levels to encourage and support a holistic approach to your gymnastics growth.
There are 8 Levels across 2 books in the Gymnastics Odyssey Awards Programme and 8 Levels across 2 books in the Olympic Odyssey Awards Programme. There are therefore 16 Levels and medals to collect.
In addition to the Levels gymnasts can also receive an apparatus medal when all the apparatus skills are passed across all the levels. Children can progress the apparatus as soon as the module is passed irrespective of whether the Level has been passed. This ensure that children can continue to progress in the apparatus that they are better at without being held back by not passing a level.
Finally there are awards for attendance and displays of character such as Team Work, Empathy and Confidence. These can be awarded at any time throughout the term so that children feel continually rewarded.
