starting at such a late age you may feel intimated. DON'T give up practice hard and often it's a big commitment

Answer 4

Trust me if you work hard and kepp your head up high you can achieve..if you work hard enough

Answer 5

i started when i was 15 so no worries! just try and you will get far because i'm already kind of far (i've learned A LOT in a year) so if you stick with it you will get far! promise!

Answer 6

It all depends on you.  You could go all the way to elite, or you could go nowhere.  Just stick with it.  It's a huge commitment.  I started 2 years ago and I'm a level 6 already.

Answer 7

I done know much about gymnastics but I do know there are some BMX park riders and ufc that also started when they were pretty old and now they are competing at a national level.

Answer 8

it really depends on the person when it comes to a sport like gymnastics  however don't expect to get into the olympics or even the olympic trials  sorry  the people who end up in that start at ages like 2 and 3 and have tons of cash, and great access to the top gyms   if you are going to be joining a club as in team, you could get pretty far if you work hard  i just recently stopped gymnastics and got as far as level 8 with level 9 skills  and i had started when i was 6 (im 15 now) remember to keep a good positive attitude and focus   hope i helped

Answer 9

starting young can be good and bad... most olympic players started young, but doing competitve sports can lead to injuries and delayed development in girls.  just look at these girls on the olympic team... they are usually into their teens and they still look like they are 12.  If it is something that you love go for it.
