Answer 1

You could do gymnastics just for fun. i do them for fun. I do compete but I'm on PT compulsory. I've been going for about a year and a half and I'm 13 and i think its fun. But to be at the level to compete at nationals you need to train hard. maybe for about 4-5 years at the least.

Answer 2

YES, gymnastics is a great sport for everyone. Also, being in overall good physcial shape is a lot more important in gymnastics than height. Just because your tall doesn't mean you won't be good at it, also. I hope you sign up for gymnastics classes and have fun, don't let your height stop from doing something you want to try out. I'm 4'11 and a gymnast, but I've seen amazing gymnasts who are much taller, like your height and are great tumblers.

Answer 3

You can definitely do gymnastics just for fun!  Sign up for some classes and enjoy!  Even if you never compete, you'll gain strength and flexibility, as well as grace and coordination, which will be a great help in your modeling.  Plus, you'll learn to do some skills that most of your friends can't do, which is always fun at parties!  =]
