It's just like regular gymnastics, but you and/ or your coach(es) get to make up your own routines. Your SV is lower (than 10.00), but you can raise it by adding bonus material to your routines.

Is gymnastics for all ages?

Yes gymnastics is for all ages. There are classes from mommy and me classes to adult classes in certain gymnastics centers. I started gymnastics at a late age for gymnastics. I started at the age of 10 ( I'm 15 now) and I'm now doing competitive gymnastics. But since I did start gymnastics later I'm not at a very high competitive level. My coaches told me if I did start gymnastics at an earlier age like everyone else I could've been at least a level 9 or maybe even 10! But since I do other stuff like cheerleading at school and gymnastics and I'm in high school now I do prep op gymnastics which is gymnastics which is not as committed as being an optional gymnast. Gymnastics is good to start young since your body is really flexible and your not afraid to try new skills and to build motor skills. If you started late like me its also good because you work on flexibility, strength, endurance, and it helps you get disciplined and stay focus at school. Almost every gymnasts get straight As. Adult classes are also good to start since adults also need exercise and they work on flexibility and strength to work on bone strength and endurance. So yes gymnastics is for all ages, and you have plenty of choices to choose from like mommy and me, adult, rec team, competitive team, and prep op levels. Hope this helped. Jean


Are there any prep or boarding schools that offer gymnastics?

I'm looking for a preparatory school in New England or New Hork or New Jersey that has a competitive girls gymnastic team. I am not interested in a gymnastics school that also offers academics.


You began gymnastics when you were 4 years old but you quit when you were 10 at level 4 and you are now 15 and want to go back to gymnastics Should you and How much more could you improve?

I think that if you want to go back you should!! You would probably start in level four and by the time high school is out you could be a level seven which is optional gymnastics :)


How big does your gymnastics gym need to be to run the gymnastics club?

It doesn't matter. It just needs to be large enough to hold a beam, bars, floor exercise equiptment, vault and/or springboard, and the Men's Equiptment, which is optional of course. You may not have boys sign up so that is why it is optianal.


Can a gymnastics change levels once registered for USAG pa?

From my own experiences I believe that is a yes. We had girls who had finished a successful season at IPO(intermediate prep optional) and were progressing well enough that if they hit a 34 all around at their level 6 move up meet, they could move up to level 7. All of the girls did so, and even went on to compete at states, which is a PA sanctioned meet.

What level are you in gymnastics?

There are 10 levels in gymnastics - 10 being the highest. After the tenth level gymnasts may go elite. In some gyms there may even be advanced training or pre-team, for younger children who are not old enough to be on team but may posses worthy skills. For gymnasts who are old enough to be on team but don't have good enough skills, gyms may have a smaller team called prep opt.
