Would it be possible to start competitive gymnastics at 12? I started gymnastics at 7 and did rec classes up til covid when I stopped. Then when I was 9 i did rec classes again and have been doing so for the past 4 yrs (age 12 rn) but I was never put on like a competitive team. I also did ballet for around 3 - 4 years and did competitive rythmic gymnastics for 2 yrs, so I am fairly flexible and strong. On floor I can do front handsprings, back walkovers, front walkovers, and all the other basic skills, but I am close to my backhandspring, I also can front tuck and back tuck on the tramp/into the pit. On bars I have pullovers, back hip circle, double back hip circle, squat on, and am close to my kip. On beam I have handstand, cartwheel, wendy, roundoff dismount, turns, and side handstand dismount. On vault I can do handstand flatbacks and front handspring over mats, not the actual table.
