If your child enjoys physical activity, has basic coordination and flexibility, and is eager to try new movements, they may be ready for gymnastics lessons.
Gymnastics classes typically range from $15 to $50 per session, with potential discounts for enrolling in multiple classes or purchasing a package.
Look for instructors with certifications from gymnastics organizations and experience in teaching children. A background in competitive gymnastics can also be beneficial.
Encourage your child to practice basic moves at home, watch gymnastics competitions for inspiration, and participate in gym-related activities like tumbling.
Children can start learning gymnastics as young as 3 or 4 years old, focusing on fun and foundational skills. More structured training can begin around age 6 or 7.
