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.

Yes, gymnastics does use force. Force is actually one of the most importan requirements in gymnastics. You need force to push up into a handstand, you need force to kick over in a backbend, you need force to push off the ground when you rebound, you need force for alot of things in gymnastics.
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 much do you have to way to be in gymnastics?
You don't need to be any specific weight. You can do gymnastics if you are fat or if you are skinny. It doesn't really matter. You will find it easier if you are smaller, lighter and can hold your own body weight.
