Okay so i am starting gymnastics at 14, classes are 1 a week how long will it take for my backhand spring??

Question

I am just not sure i 14 is too early for gymnastics or what, and i really want to learn a back hand spring and want to know how long it will take me???

Answer 1

Well i started gym when i was five and i wasnt allowed 2 learn it until i was 8 or sumthing. It took me a couple of months to learn it but it was mostly getting ovr the fear of it.

For people starting at an older age it IS harder because ur not as flexible. If you have classes once a week it mite take a while. because even after a week you can loose some skill. if u rely want to learn it fast you should look into some private classes with ur coaches.

Answer 2

yes it depends. wut level are you on now? i would say that it might take a few months if your lucky. work hard and keep practicing. actually yea most ppl start gymnastics when there around 6 or 7 so your pretty late. but dont give up because im just now starting and im 12. so were pretty close. anyway work hard and you can get it done.

Answer 3

It depends what level you started in and what skills you are working on now.  Every gym is different.  Some gyms train there kids to do backhandsprings in level 2 and some wait till level 4.  Just keep working at it.

Answer 4

im 12 and i'v been in gymnastics sins i was 4 :D

so i was about 6 when i learnd it

but it will take shorter time 4 u cuz you're 14 :D
