The Benefits of Recreational Gymnastics!

Author: Gymnastics is a great sport for people of all ages. No matter how young or old you may be, gymnastics will benefit your life in one way or another. Those that aren’t very skilled or have no interest in gymnastics competitions can join a 
recreational gymnastics program.
A good recreational gymnastics program should be designed to accommodate and teach children of all ages and skill level. It should help each and every gymnast build strength, flexibility, agility, coordination, fitness, balance, confidence, special awareness, etc. Along with teaching them the basics gymnastics skills to more advance skills.
All of this should be taught in a fun and safe atmosphere by including games and activities into the USAG based gymnastics program.
The recreational gymnastics program is designed to be a fun and challenging program that will enhance the participants athletic ability. The newly enhanced physical attributes will help each person become a better athlete no matter what sport they choose to play.

Gymnastics is a great way of keeping fit and flexible…I prefer gymnastics over other exercises…
Hi I’m a 13 year old who loves gymnastics . When I was a little girl I was asked to join the hot shots or pre team but I decided not to because I was having too much fun in the classes. Now being 13 and taking the classes for almost 8 years, I want to go to team but I have no idea how to get onto team. Is there something I would have to do to get on or can I only be on team if they invite me? This may be something that only the people at my gym can answer but after reading a lot on your site I know I am past level one and maybe two and would really like to move up from classes. Thanks for all the great info on your site!
I would go to the head coach at your gym and tell them that you are interested in being on team and ask them to test you. This will allow them to see where you are and they will be able to let you know what skills you are missing. Hope this helps!
