Question by Kim C: Gymnastics-Can i get on a higher level??Please Help!”?
Ok, I am a gymnast in Ireland, level 4, and I started when I was 4 but stupidly quit when I was 7. for those 3 years, I was an elite and when I was 11 i decided to start again. I’m 14 now and still in a recreation class. My coach said I probably won’t get into intermediate or elite at this age and I was really upset…I want to be a better gymnast, any tips??
Thank you:D x

Don’t listen to your coach about that, im 13 and im level six, i want to get to level 10 by 17 but people doubt that but i went from level 4 to 6 in one year so idk. You can most deffenitly make it to where you want if you try hard enough.

First of all, how many times a week do you go to gymnastics, try taking up another night, or privet lessons(they help)

Also maybe try going to camp over the summer.

Another tip is just practice at home, like do splits and bridges and handstands and things like that, if you want to do more buy a mat.

hope i helped
