Is 15 too old to start gymnastics?

Question

My friend is 15 and she wants to do gymnastics, but is she too old?

Answer 1

That depends, if she just wants to learn gymnastics and have fun, then no, she's not too old. If she wants to be an elite-level competitive gymnast then she really could be starting too late. Most of the elite gymnasts have been practicing gymnastics since they were 6 years old or younger!

Answer 2

if you are determined and work hard then you can certainly start gymnastics at 15. you're never too old to try something that you really want to do and don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something. tell you friend that she will have to work very hard but with effort and commitment, she will be able to start gymnastics.

Answer 3

Your never too old to do a sport. She is too old to be good at a world level, but she can do it for enjoyment.

Answer 4

She's too old for it on an Olympic level, but not for recreation.
