Is it to late to start gymnastics ?

Posted at: 2015-05-07 
I'm 13 and has always had passion for gymnastics. I know my back kick-over,handstand,cartwheel,roundoff and forward roll, Problem is my friend is my age and is level 4 gymnast and if i go to a class there will be very young girls there... I feel like I am to late. Am I ? :-/

If you had visions of national or international competition, then yeah you're too late. If you you're just doing it for fun and recreation, then you're not too late. The answer of your question varies upon what your goals are

"and if i go to a class there will be very young girls there"

You can see about getting private lessons, if the gym doesn't offer them, then there's not much you can do about it. It's one of the reasons why people who take up gymnastics later don't tend to stick with it very long. It can be pretty frustrating seeing someone who started when they were like 4 years old be able to perform more advanced skills that you can't do and realize that you'll probably never catch up to that person because they have a 8 or 9 year head start on you.

It's never to late to start gymnastics. Well if your 51 its too late but I mean... Your still 13 you can start nobody will be against it. It's your choice you want to start you start nobody will stop you. If somebody does well they have a big problem and they'll have to mess with me! START it's never late.

it is never too late. i began gymnastics at age 98, and look at me now, the oldest and most flexible man in the entire world

never to late to try
