[quote=Anonymous]I don't think anyone but your daughter can answer the question of whether it's worth it. I was a competitive gymnast, and for me, yes, it was absolutely worth it, I loved the sport and still do it (and yes, I'm old and have kids). I stopped competing at 14 and went on to do different high school sports (my high school wasn't very competitive, so I could do any sport they had basically). The strength, flexibility, and body awareness I got from gymnastics made every other sport that much easier to learn, and it also made me appreciate working out and keeping fit. Oh, and yes, it can be a HUGE time commitment at the higher levels. I think the most I worked out was around 25/28 hours a week. If your daughter is very talented and competitive, stick with USAG. If she wants to do it for fun, then MDL may be a more appropriate venue and could allow for greater longevity with less chance of burnout/injury. [/quote]
