Gymnastics classes are the perfect extracurricular activity for children of all ages. Most cities have one or more facilities available that offer classes to children, teens and even adults. They are a great way to work on motor skills and give children the exercise that they need in order to grow. Many parents choose to enroll their toddlers and preschoolers in gymnastics classes. They are often offered once per week for one to two hours. In these beginner classes, the children do a lot of jumping and tumbling. They use trampolines and other obstacles on mats. This allows the children to get out a lot of energy and also learn how to control their bodies while jumping and tumbling. Many parents find that gymnastics is an excellent tool in preparing their children for Cheerleading when they are older. As a child grows, the gymnastics classes become more advanced. They begin to learn how to do cartwheels and other jumps. The students also learn how to balance themselves on balance beams. Gymnasts gain a lot of upper body strength by doing exercises on rings and parallel bars. The classes compete in meets with other classes around the state. In these meets, they will compete in various gymnastic events. Attending gymnastics classes has many advantages for children. It allows them to be active after school and during the summer. It also teaches them how to be part of a team and how to strive to do their very best. It increases their physical fitness and keeps them in great shape. Parents love for their children to attend gymnastics classes. It is open for both boys and girls. They will become close friends with the other students in their gymnastics classes and feel special to be part of a team. It is fun for the children to return to the same classes year after year as they all grow and improve. Many gymnastic students have the dream to become an Olympic athlete.

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

Where can you find a good gymnastics gym?

Well this depends on a lot of things. Are you wanting a gym that is good with children and is more about the kids having fun or is it more about promoting the advancement in gymnastics? This will also depend upon what area you are from. Obviously WOGA is one of the best gyms in the nation but you have to be an elite to really attend there. Call your local listing and talk to them about classes and see what gym may be best for you. Some questions that may be good to ask are 1) how long are you classes? 2) how many days a week are your classes 3) which is more important to your gym, that the children have fun or that the children become the best gymnast (don't accept both as an answer!) 4) How are the classes arranged age, sex, level etc.5) Are all the coaches experienced coaches? 6) Do any of the coaches that teach regular recreational gymnastics also teach the competitive teams?
