Is 17 too old for gymnastics?

Posted at: 2015-05-07 
Before I start, no I'm not intending of becoming an olympic, that would be an insult to gymnasts that trained since diapers but I'm speaking of - just doing tumbling. Here in europe we don't have as much competitive cheer and I left because it wasn't the same so I came with the idea why not gymnastics? I love gymnastics.

I can do a back handspring, front spring, and I got my back tuck on a trampoline but that is all :( am I too old?

BHS and Front handspring is really good for your age! I'm 13. I just had my first gymnastics class today and I couldn't even do a front roll :/ but anyway, it's NEVER too late to start a sport. It's always good to be active and stay in shape. :) It will be really fun too. ^.^

No you are not too old. You are right in thinking you won't be competitive but it is still lots of fun and you can learn new skills and get fit, so it is worthwhile in itself. It may not be so easy to find a club or class though. It probably depends where you live.

No defiantly not! As you said, your not going for Olympics. Only tumbling is great to keep you in shape. I take tumbling for my competitive cheer team:)

No just do what you like.

Here at my gym,We have many people your age too.Atleast you wanna try,get active and do what you love.! :D

You should have started a little younger but u can still try
