[quote=Anonymous]I am enjoying reading these posts. Gymnastics, like any sport, has its positive attributes and dangers. Some coaches may create greater risks by allowing kids to move onto more difficult skills more quickly. This strategy of moving gymnasts up quickly is what is necessary to move to the highest levels -- particularly since females age out of gymnastics by their teenage years. However, gymnastics is a great sport to develop strength, flexibility, time management, focus, concentration, overcoming fear, and many other life skills. There are gyms that have trained Olympic athletes and others that focus on foundational and life skills, others that create a very familial environment without much focus on gymnastics. Before you visit gyms, figure out what is best for you and your child. The most important thing is to find the best match. Choosing a gym that is too difficult or too easy might turn your child off of the sport. [/quote]
