A question about gymnastics????

Question

can you stsrt gymnastics when you are 16 and not get stuck with little kids?? details on what i would do also.

Answer 1

nah because other people around your age are also going to be starting out. so  

Answer 2

I doubt it.  If you are a beginner you are probably going to be with the kids unless you find a class specifically for older beginners.

Answer 3

sure, at my gym they seperate classes by ability and age, but it's different everywhere you go. check some gyms out and ask. :)

Answer 4

i would think that you wouldn have to be stuck with all the little kids. i know at my gym there are classes for adults who just want to experiement with gymnastics. so maybe you can find a local gym around you that has something like that.

Answer 5

Some gyms do have beginner classes for teens, and even for adults. You'll just have to call around to the gyms in your area and ask. If you can't find one that offers classes for your age group, another option is to join a tumbling class. In a tumbling class, you'll learn cartwheels, roundoffs, backhandsprings, back tucks, and probably some front tumbling skills. You might also use the trampoline. You won't do beam, bars or vault... but you'll have a much better chance of being with girls your age. Tumbling classes are usually filled with middle school and high school girls who want to learn tumbling skills for cheerleading.
