What do you wear to the classes

& the classes are only 1 time per week.

if i continue this for alot of years can i be able to backflip?

if you know so when.

and i can cartwheel, back summersault, flip using a bar, do a front flip diving, on a bed, and trampoline and land on my butt. hand stand against a wall, head stand against a wall.

Answer 1

Yeah I think you should sign up and I think you will learn how to do a flip fairly quickly I taught myself how to do one on a trampoline...so yeah sign up see if you like it.

Answer 2

i was EXACTLY like you when i started cheer tumbling classes.

i could do the same things i was about to disgn up for gymnastics classes but instead i signed up for cheer tumbling. i've been goign to 1 week 1 hour classes for a year & i've learned a few things not a lot but i've improved. if you continue for a few years & always pratice & comit you will be doing great!

as for what you wear in gymnastics is, you're suppose to wear a leotard but they let you wear a tee shirt & shorts.

Answer 3

no ur never too old to do something...

except if ur  90 lol.

oh and wear comfortable shorts and a light short sleeve t shirt...

well good luck!

:D

Answer 4

No, you're not... my friend does gymnastics and shes going in to eighth grade too. Yes, you will most likely be able to backflip. Good luck... you sound good at it(:

Oh yeah, wear just comfortable stretchy shorts and a loose tee shirt

Answer 5

Do it!  I was in the same situation as you at your age and wondered about signing up.  I ended up not doing because I was afraid I would be too old to start.  Now I am 31 and don't have time to pursue gymnastics.  But I really think I could have been fairly good if I'd started at your age, and really regret not trying it and seeing how far I would have gotten.  Don't let yourself end up like me.  Give it a shot.

Answer 6

were shorts and shirt . it depends on the backflip you have to have the confidence if you don't your now going to learn it. and its never to late
