Gymnastics is a sport that should always keep you happy, upbeat, and hungry for more. It is challenging, but also extremely fun. But, if you are one of those people that just isn't liking it anymore, maybe it's time to call it quits. Quitting isn't something I'm telling you is necessary, maybe your just going through a rough patch. But if you are genuinely not into anymore, maybe it's time to go. Also, some people push themselves too hard. If you love the sport sooo much, and have been doing it for a long time, that is fantastic. But when your body screams no, it means no. Yes, there are injuries you can work through, but pushing yourself through brutal injuries can mean long term damage, and injuries that won't go away. So even if you love the sport, and it's your life, you also have to know when to let it go.

You injure yourself. Gymnastics is so hard to quit any other way.

If you do want to quit though, you will miss it. Forever. Gymnastics really is a way of life and to leave that sucks.

If you are POSITIVE that you want to quit gymnastics though, you just need to be straight up with your coach. Be sure to tell him/her how much they have done for you and thank him/her for coaching you. Just tell him/her that it just takes up too much time and although you have really enjoyed doing it, gymnastics just isn't worth the commitment any more.

Adding on tell your teammates with your coach. Believe me they will appreciate it. And remember its ok to cry just because you are quitting doesn not mean you do no love it.

There isn't one. Gymnastics is a very demanding sport, but those involved can continue in it until their interests take them elsewhere, or their bodies will no longer perform as they wish because of the inevitability of age, so they voluntarily leave the sport. But there is no age where a person is "supposed to stop".

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 :)


What should you do dance or gymnastics?

Why not both!? Dance will help you with gymnastics, and gymnastics will help you with dance! Gymnastics is more of a mental sport, and if you decide to quit once you move up levels and it gets too hard, you can always do dance! Trust me, if you want to do gymnastics, at the minimum take a few ballet classes. They will help you gain flexibility, pointed toes and straight knees as well as your artistry in gymnastics. If you have enough money, I advise you to take dance and gymnastics.

What were the conflicts of gymnastics?

Some conflicts are the time that it takes. Gymnastics takes different amounts of time out of your day, but if you are in level 5 or higher, you can count on conflicts between school and gymnastics. It also takes a considerable amount of money to pay for gymnastics practices. If you love it, though, it is worth the money!
