There is some disagreement as to whether a child taking part in gymnastics will have stunted growth. Some people believe that long hours of training, or injury prior to puberty may cause damage to the growth plates in bones and cause them to close before the individual has reached their full height. Therefore, the age at which the child begins puberty would be the age when growth would not be affected.

Can competative gymnastics hurt your 5 year old?

This all depends on how hard they push your child, and how well your child takes to it. Many gymnastics coaches watch will your child and learn how far they can go. They should not do anything that will hurt or damage your child. In competitive gymnastics you will always start at the lowest level and work your way up, but it all depends on your child's abilities. In short, it is basically a self pace thing. But if you have doubts, talk to the coaches ad find out as much as you can about what kind of conditioning there is and what kind of things they will be doing.
