Am I To Old For Gymnastics

Question

I'm 15 years old. 16 on the 22nd Feb. I am very passionate about it. I used to do it for 6 years but on the 6th year i broke my elbow doing a roundoff back flick which scared me off doing backflicks in the future. Im over that now and do them on the trampoline & I do front handsprings & things on the grass at school. But i really want to get back into gymnastics. But i dont like compotitions. But im wondering with my age being 15 am i too old to be taught more things? The basics are easy. Id love to get the roundoff back flick again. Please give as much info as possible. I dont want to go into recreation as i can do everything. I want to go to advance gym again. Thankyou

Answer 1

i did gymnastics when i was younger and then quit.  i started to get into it again when i was about 12.  the main reason was because i could do the splits and then i progressed from there.  i dont think you are too old.  you dont have to compete if you dont want to.  just do it for fun! the longer you leave it, the less supple you will become and you will probably regret it in the future!

good luck and go for it!

Answer 2

You're never too old to do what you want, especially if it makes you feel good!

Answer 3

nope, just try you best

Answer 4

definitely not, i started at 13. i'm nearly fourteen. and i'm getting good

=]

and i've got at least eight years left (if i dont get an injury), the olympics in 2016 will be when i'm 21 so i hope i can get to that stage. and become britain's first medalist in like, forever =]

GOOD LUCK. try your hardest.

Answer 5

Answer 6

you're never to old to do gymnastics. any age is great its good to learn more things so go out and try it

Answer 7

Go back to where you did gymnastics before and ask to work out with the team, just for fun and exercise not for competitions. I'm sure they'd be more than happy to.
