I am 16 years old and i am a dancer and im wondering if im to old to start gymnastics?

Question

I started gymnastics when i was 3 because my mom said i would do flips around the house and she didnt want me to get hurt.ive always had an extremely flexible back.I took a couple classes a week until i was 11 and then quit because i wasnt having fun anymore.now i look back at it and regret ever quitting because i was really good.i was 11 yrs old and in level 7.now i want to start back up again but dont know if it is to late.i can do a back and front walkover,arial,front and back handspring,the splits,russians,handstand,roundoff back handspring,and back bends,and front tucks on a trampoline.do you think im to old to start it again?

Answer 1

Just so you know I am not trying to brag. I can do everything you can do and more and I have only been doing gymnastics for one year (I am also a dancer). My point is that if you can already do all that than I am sure you will do very well when you start again. You have all of the basic skills, and I'm sure that after only a few classes you be adding to what you know!

Best of luck and I hope this helps :)

Answer 2

dear writer,

       I think because your sixteen it will be hard but if you work hard you might be able to pull it off. and it sounds like you've been keeping up with flipping and stuff so ya i think you go for it!! don't be afraid to try new stuff when the coach says your ready and if they say your not your not its ok..but I'm sure you know that...lol!!! i hope you do good if you do decide to try it again!

good luck,
