What other sports do you do besides gym?

[gymgymgymnast08]

I do gym obviously and I also run track. I've heard gymnasts are supposed to be good pole vaulters and divers so I definitely want to try both next year in high school. There is a lot of sports that gymnasts are good at tho

Well I don't do gymnastics (yet!), but I play soccer and run track, and I used to play basketball. I plan on doing gym for real this summer tho, cuz it rocks . I don't think I'll be competing or anything like that tho, I'm mostly doing it for fun.

My gf, who is a Level 8 gymnast, used to play soccer too. But when she got to the point where she was going to have to start seriously committing to her sports, then she had to pick one or the other.

I think time commitments might be the main thing keeping a lot of gymnasts from getting involved in other sports. But I have a feeling gymnasts would probably be good at just about any sport because they are naturally very athletic. Of course Diving and Pole Vaulting, as well as Cheerleading and Dancing are the obvious ones. The girls on my HS gymnastics team that I can think of do all different ones like Field Hockey, Lacrosse, Track, Cross Country, and Volleyball tho.

I play soccer for recreational and my high school! I also like motocross but of course I just do it for fun on a quad in the desert!
!Randa!

I'm a gymnast, cheer, and I play lacrosse!

I used to do cheer, but then they dropped me and took me out of gym for two months, so I finished the year, then didn't come back the next year. I do track though-long jump, triple jump, and the gymnast's event of pole vault.

What events?

[I-Heart-Beam]

Tennis!!! I'm absolutely rotten but I love it. I like playing football (soccer-that sounds so cool lol) too. Nothing competitive though.

Still hate losing mind.

when i was competing i also did cheerleading (both hs and on a comp team) as well as showing horses...now though since i no longer compete i just coach at a local Elite gym as well as train and show horses which takes up 90% of my time so i dont get a lot of time with my girls during the summer like i do during the winter..but alot of the girls i coach do outside sports usualy high school sports if they arent on the gymnastic team at their high school..alot of them are cheerleaders as well
