Your little girl is watching competitive gymnastics on TV and is already tumbling around the living room, imitating what she sees. Gymnastics is one of the most dynamic and beautiful sports around, and to your surprise, your girl may actually have some talent. While girls only have a 1 in 300,000 chance of competing in the Olympics, gymnastics are an excellent form of exercise that also builds poise and self-confidence.
Gymnastics is an “all body” sport that helps to develop strength, muscle memory, flexibility, depth perception, self-discipline, motivation, organization skills, and the list goes on.
Enrolling your daughter in a gymnastics program is a big decision, and you’ll not only need to find a kid-friendly gymnastics gym. Look for a gym that’s brightly colored, with a friendly staff. Ask how long the coaches have been training children in gymnastics and how long have they worked at that gym. You can also ask if the coaches are USAG certified. Finally, make sure you read any liability release the gym make have very carefully. Don’t be afraid to ask questions.
You’ll also need to outfit her with a few sets of girls’ gymnastics leotards. The right girls’ gymnastics leotards will not only make practicing her art comfortable, but they’ll also make your daughter feel like a real Olympian. Cheaply made and poor fitting leotards are all too common, so spend a little bit more to buy your girl the workout gear she needs to excel in her craft.
