Can I start gymnastics at the age of 15?

Alex: Can I start gymnastics at the age of 15?
I am a 15 year old soccer player, and for some reason, I am so obsessed with gymnastics. I used to do it, but I didn’t get very far before I started soccer. I can do the basics. I want to start gymnastics again, and I’m just wondering if I can still do it. Also, I’m not looking to be an Olympic Champion, just wanting to learn how to do things on the different apparatus’ and maybe a competition or two!

15 is a little old to be starting again.. most people end their career around 19. I would say yes it’s old if you want to go somewhere with it. but if not, GO FOR IT 🙂

Do yourself a favor and ignore the other answers.

FACT:
I had THREE male instructors and ONE female instructor.

OH and you don’t wear spandex. You wear shorts and a t-shirt.

It’s not too young, AT ALL. I was in gymnastics for 7 years and I would meet beginners as old as 20. It’s never too late. A LOT of people don’t start gymnastics until they’re around your age. Usually, they’ll ask you what skills you have/what you can do and place you accordingly. You’ll be with kids your age, at your level. I would definitely get into it.

It’s odd. I was a soccer player before I was a gymnast/cheerleader.
