We have a beloved coach who has given quarters or a dollar to a kid when they get a new skill or do exceptionally well on a new skill (like getting 25 circles on the pommel horse as a level 5). The kids never expect it because he does this maybe two or three times a year, but it seems to motivate them all for a while, wondering if he'll do it again.
My ds did tell me once that one of his teammates was promised an ipad for a certain score at regionals, but that kid actually ended up refusing to compete at regionals and then quit gymnastics all together. Sad :-(
