How do you get into gymnastics?

Answer 1

Go to your local gym and talk to the coach of the team. Ask if there is a time where you can try-out for the team. They will be able to give you a time where they can watch your skills and see where they will put you.

Answer 2

There are many gymnastics schools throughout the United States, assuming that's where you live. The process is very simple, ask your parents to help you locate a school with a great program (try asking friends at school) and you only need to register, pay tuition and begin gymnastics lessons. If you are interested in a competitive gymnastics program it will be necessary for you to start out in a recreational class to begin with and then ask the people at your local school what the process is for their particular program. There are many YMCA's that offer gymnastics lessons and often at lower prices than private gymnastics schools. Many schools offer gymnastics programs, depending on your age and grade level it may be a possibility for you to look into. Gymnastics has become very popular all over the world and I believe, but am not certain, that the process is pretty much the same. Private gymnastics schools and community organizations offer gymnastics classes. I hope you are able to find a place to start getting involved in the world's greatest sport.

Answer 3

go on the internet and type in gymnastics in/near .....(wherever you live) the british gymnastics website will have plenty of choices. or you can look in the yellow pages if you don't have one go on yell.com on the internet.

Answer 4

stretch everyday (keep legs together and straight and try to touch toes- this is one basic stretch) practice splits. join a club near you- find one on the internet or in the yellow pages. do strength training such as situps, pressups etc...

Answer 5

Don't practice at home a lot, you can get hurt easier then at a training center. You need trained coaches to help you, so if you need extra help go to a Gymnastic Gym that provides open gym and practice there

Answer 6

well without access to a gym, it might be a little harder. I am a gymnast and I normally practice strength and flexibility at home, but also tumbling. to practice strength, do some pushups and situps. to practice flexibility, do catstretch, bridges, the splits and stretch your wrists. this can help you with back walkovers and back handsprings. for tumbling, just go on a grassy area and practice whatever you need to. if you think it will be harder to land, find a spotter that can help you through it. to practice bars, I have a bar that is hanging on my tree and it is pretty much PVC pipe and rope. I practice bars on that. for beam, practice balance and when you tumble, try to make everything in a straight line. for vault, work on speed and your punches and that will help ALOT trust me you will see improvement. good luck and be safe!
