Is it too late for me to start gymnastics?

Madi: Is it too late for me to start gymnastics?
I’m 11 years old. I started to learn about gymnastics at the age of 9. I know the history of gymnastics, the legendary gymnasts and some moves of gymnastics.I’m very interested in gymnastics and i learn very quickly. I’m kinda fit in my opinion, I weigh 105 and I’m 4’11. I can do splits/ straddles, back bends and somersaults. Is it too late for me o start gymnastics?

No, the only thing is just mae sure you know that you wont be thrown into competitive gymnastics. you need to learn certin skills. its great that you have all of those skills though! also a cartwheel (straight legs and pointed toes and in a striaght line) would help as well as a handstand. go for it! lots of gymnast start late.

course not.(: I’m 14 and am starting! I also used to take gymnastics when i was about 8-9 years old. Buuut, then I quit. And am now re-starting.(: You may want go on youtube and find some demos for how to do a cartwheel and handstand, and maybe even a round off. Those are verrry important also, as they are basic floor skills that you will start off learning once you start.
Here are some good demos that I have found help me:
cartwheel:
handstand:
round off:

Well, hope that helps and good luck!!!!(:
