Can you start gymnastics at the age of 11?

Answer 1

Yes you can, but it depends on what your planning of achieving, if its going to the Olympics, a very slim chance, but if you short, will start training 5-6 days a week for 4-5 hours, naturally very flexible, and determined then possibly you could go to worlds or olympics. If you just want to start, to have fun and be able to do the splits then yes of course its a perfect age. For any sport its fine, as long as you have fun and love what your doing you'll go very far! Just don't give up on gymnastics, because at first it can be very difficult then u get better and better:)

Answer 2

yes definatley I dont see why not. Yes they could, but it may be just a little bit to late to start because I started when I was 7 and am now 11 and one of my friends joined last year and was finding it okay, BUT that was only because I had been teaching her abit, soooooo I would say that they could. HOPE THAT HELPS! YES DEFINETLY!! I started gymnastics at the age of 10 which is yes late to start but if you really love the sport and practice then you can get far. I am now an optional gymnastics which is good for doing gymnastics for only 5 years. So if you just love the sport and try real hard then of course you can do it. Maybe you just want to do it to exercise and not do it competitive gymnastics....either way starting gymnastics at 11 is late in the gymnastics world but with perserverance and hard work you can do it. I know tat sounds cheesy and corny but it worked for me and I started at age 10 and am now the national champions in usaigc gymnastics for level 8. Hope gymnastics works out for u!

Answer 3

You can do gymnastics for as long as you like as long as your not putting your body at risk. A lot of people think they can't start gymnastics at a late age because they won't make it to the Olympics or whatever, but if your doing it to have fun or even if you have that dream it's better to give it a go rather than not; you could get really good!
