I'm 14 do you think its late to start?
Thanks x
Not at all. I was 13 when I started gymnastics (now 14) and there were a lot of teens, most gyms have classes for middle school and high school so your not with little kids. Also you can always get private lessons to get on a team faster. If you act dedicated and ready to move your coaches will help even more.
If you still are questioning doing it you could try tumbling, acro, or trampoline also. Gymnastics is very possible to start when your 14 and definetly worth it
You are never too old to enjoy taking gymnastics. Even though you won't make it to the Elite level, you can still have fun, get some great exercise, build your strength and flexibility, and learn a lot of lessons about pushing yourself and succeeding in life.
Did you know that some gyms are even offering gymnastics classes for adults? Some adults never had the opportunity to take gymnastics when they were younger, but want to enjoy the sport anyhow.
The other answers are great but I'm concerned what you mean by alone. If you just mean you are starting in a class and non of your friends are starting with you then that is fine. You will probably be put in a class with other people of a similar age and ability and I'm sure you will make friends there. If however you mean you plan to try to learn gymnastics without getting proper coaching then that is not OK. Regardless of how old you are you can't learn gymnastics either safely or well without proper coaching. It is much, much better to join a class. You don't need to know any particular skills before you start and most coaches would rather you hadn't tried to teach yourself skills because that usually means you have developed bad habits of technique which are very hard to break.
I'm 14 now and I'm in gymnastics. I don't do regular gymnastics though. I do trampoline, tumbling, and double mini. but anyway I started when I was 10 and thought I was to old to start but I wasn't. I was still considered young to start. I have people join my team that are older than me or the same age right now. It's not to young to start gymnastics
I want to start gymnastics, alone tho.
