[quote=Anonymous]Two of my kids are in competitive gymnastics. The older one started traveling to nationals at age 8. This year the younger one also qualified to compete at the national competition - also age 8. Thing about this sort of sport is that you go in knowing that travel is a possibility if they do well enough. It's sort of a lifestyle. If you're not willing to do it, then you don't choose this sport. If you wait until high school, it's not likely that you'll do that well competitively. Maybe starting in MS is ok, but the kids that do really well tend to start much younger. I do always travel with my kids, as do most parents. Some send their kids with other families. But, there is so much involved with hair, make up and all that I don't want to impose on others. [/quote]
