If i start gymnastics now will i be stuck with really young kids?

Question

I am 13 and want to start gymnastics but I'm scared that if i do i will be stuck in a class with 6 year olds. I think the gymnastics club i want to go to does classes by ability rather than age. should i still do it?

Answer 1

well i dont know. most gymnastics go by age not ability. If you go most likley you wount go with younger kids you'll just do easier stuff than work up to harder stuff. If your good you'll work on harder stuff. I personally think you should still do it. Give it a chance!!!!!

Answer 2

No, you shouldn't, I would call and ask them. If they do find another place! Or stick with it, you will probably get it faster than them!!!

Answer 3

Yeah.

13 is a bit late to be starting gymnastics. You have probably grown too much. Have you noticed that female gymnasts are short and skinny. That's because their growth has been stunted. Gymnasts start at a young age.

Where are you from ? Here in England, there is a beginners gymnastics class. Under 6's and over 6's. In the over 6's the oldest is about 10 !

A couple of years ago, i did gymnastics but i quite because i started to late so i didn't have the flexibility.

Answer 4

I have the same problem as you.I'm 13 but I afraid but I think you should go for it.You could try recreational and see if you like it.Some have camps as well.But good luck:)
