Yeah, there is a normal checkride, oral, and practical (Written? Can't remember), but 20 solo flights is I believe the only requirement before you can take the commercial checkride. It's 10 for private. You can download or buy a PTS for glider and that will have what you need to do on the checkride. As for your training the requirements in the FAR/AIM is a good guide because there really isn't much. I've been procrastinating for years on my commercial glider and CFI-G, but I started in gliders then went to airplanes.
