Answer 1

C'mon girl! you could be 90 and start gymnastics! Its never to late! (but it would be extremly freaky if a 90 year old started).

Answer 2

Answer 3

Nope  

Answer 4

You are never to old to start!!!

Answer 5

i am 13 too and i might start gymnastics this year too so i don't think you are too old

Answer 6

Absolutely, you can start gymnastics at age 13!  Try to find a gym that will evaluate your skill level and then place you in a class based on your skill set rather than just based solely on your age.  Although keep in mind that you may be in a class with younger kids.  You will probably progress more quickly than some of the younger girls because at your age, you are more in tune with your body and are better able to make fine adjustments that your coaches recommend when learning or perfecting skills.

Good luck and have fun!

Answer 7

You are never to old to start doing stuff that you like to do... So I say.. No you aren't to old to start... There are some people who start even older then 13

Answer 8

Of course you can start!

As long as your committed to doing your best
