No, you don't have to be a particular age to do gymnastics. 14 is a good age to start gymnastics.  I started when I was 5, but I ended up quiting because I wanted to pursue dancing.  My older sister started beginner's gymnastics at 14 and she hasn't stopped yet!  So try it out and see if you like it!

It depends what rules you are looking for.  There are many rules for gymnastics.  The international governing body (FIG) sets the initial rules.  Then each federation may modify them for the lower level/younger athletes.  You can find the code of points at www.fig-gymnastics.com and the US rules at www.usa-gymnastics.org.  USA Gymnastics sells their Junior Olympic rule book, but you can updates for free on the site for which ever discipline you are interested in.

Yes, of course! And hopefully, your other daughter will get into sports, or at least gymnastics after this. Gymnastics is fun to do just for a hobby or competitive. It is a good thing for them to keep moving and burning calories and getting flexible!, but having fun and meeting friends at the same time. If they show no interest at all, I'd try and let them do one class, and if they don't like it, then don't make them do the class, you want to make sure they enjoy what they are doing. I hope you decide to put them into a class!

I agree with Susan, or at least that's what it was before.\n\nI quit about 2 years ago, but I was a level 9 gymnast. I used to compete a lot, about once a week, sometimes on major holidays. I loved the sport, and still do. I quit and moved on to do so much more, but I still love it!

One thing you can do is network. Get to know some people in the Gymnastics "world" such as current coaches. They will point you in the right direction. One thing that may work is to look into small teams, possibly High Schools. Make a name for yourself with these people, and at a HS, and you may soon land a pro job.\n\n-Tom

This is a hard one. I am a fairly high-level competitive gymnast (*points to username*), and state champion though nowhere near elite level, and I started at age 4. It's really hard to accustom your body to the movements and have enough time to even reach the easiest competitive level if you start after age 10, or maybe 12 at the latest. 17 is supposed to be the peak that you reach after years and years of constant work.\n\nI certainly don't want to discourage you from starting my beloved sport, but I just want to warn you about it all. If you still feel sure about it, go right ahead and try it, though! (It will be a lot easier if you lift weights and stretch at home as well as at practice.)\n\nHowever, if you are not sure, I'd advise you to start off with a tumbling and dance class instead of full-blown gymnastics. You'd be able to advance more quickly since there would be less to learn, but you'd still get the floor exercise elements of gymnastics. In fact, if you're really good at it, you may even be invited to join the actual gymnastics team!\n\nAlso, most gyms offer "open gym" a couple of times a month (usually a Friday night), when you can go into the gym to play around and practice. It's a great opportunity to get used to the equipment and stuff.\n\nI hope this answer isn't too long, but I just really wanted to help someone who's interested in my passion! Whatever you decide to do, I'd love it if you'd email me to let me know. Happy gymnastics!

The highest level of competition that I've participated in were National's.  I tried it 3 times, I won 1st (gold) for team kata (2nd time I entered) and 2nd (silver) for individual kata (3rd time I entered).  I didn't win anything the first time I tried, and my heart was in sparring competitively (in all competitions I've entered).

Actually I don't think most gyms will take children until they are atleast 18 months-2yrs but maybe you can find one that starts earlier. As for the gym you choose,it depends on where you live in West Virginia. It also depends on what kind of gym you want to join (large gym as opposed to a small gym). A large gym might have more equipment but that doesn't necessarily mean it is better. I go to a smaller gym and I really like it because I know a lot of people there and like all of the coaches that work there too. Its more personal that way and more fun, to me at least. To find a list of gyms in your area you should go to the main yahoo page and then click on 'yellow pages'. Type 'gymnastics' in the 'your search' box. You also need to enter your addres in the location box. A list of gyms will come up along with phone numbers, addresses and even driving instructions in order of distance from your address. Some of them even have websites so you can check them out online. Hope this helps!
