How can I get a good start in high school gymnastics?

Question

Im going to be in gymnastics next year (10th grade)

All I know how to do is a cartwheel ,round-off, back bend kick over, back walkover, fowards roll and backwards roll.

also i have about 12 years in ballet training. will this help me out?

Answer 1

You actually have a really good start!  To be really good, you should be able to do a back handspring and a back tuck.  Take acro, tumbling, and/or gymnastics classes to help you learn.  Ballet will defiantly help you because you have:

~Strong legs

~Your in shape

~Your used to pointing your toes and having straight legs

Just remember to look and be really confident and smile!  Good luck=)

Answer 2

ok, you have a good start, now what you need to do is take an easy, once a day gymnastics class at a local gymnastics center. Ballet helps out a lot! good luck

Answer 3

If your team doesnt require try outs, you have a very good start! Remember to always work on flexibility, and see if you can start building you back tumbling to flight elements like back handsprings. Try starting soem forward tumbling, too.
