Am I too old to start gymnastics?

Posted at: 2015-05-07 
I've always wanted to do gymnastics, but my parents never put me in it. I still really want to do gymnastics, especially since I don't play any other sport. But I'm 15 (turned 15 in August). I'm also 5'4.5" and 123 lbs. Can I still start gymnastics?

If you want to be an Olympian, it is probably a little too late, but if you want to do it for fun and competition, it is definitely not too late. You could be a natural at it and you could be one of the best gymnasts in your area, but you won't know unless you try. If it is something you really thing you will enjoy, I'd say give it a shot. You are only 15, that is still so young and I know competitive gymnasts in their 20s. Good luck and I hope you give it a try!

you can definitely start gymnastics. In my opinion, doing sports at a younger age really is not much of a benefit besides the exercise it provides. You really don't gain any skill at young ages, and in a month or two, you should be as good as the rest of your peers

The younger the better, find something your passionate about and keep at it!

yes its never to late to reach your dream goal
