Hi. I'm a tenth grader who is looking in to high school gymnastics as a third sport and to serve as cross-training for soccer and fastpitch softball (im a pitcher and I'm hoping this will strengthen my muscles). I also used to take gymnastics when I was in third grade. I was a level three if I remember correctly. I still have a pretty good cartwheel, back walkover, bridge, handstand, handstand-forwards roll, and backwards roll extension, and front walkover. I don't know what I'd be able to do on bars and beam and vault yet. the season starts tomorrow. Three questions:
1. what should I expect out of this? I live in Cleveland, Ohio if it makes any difference.
2. What skills will they teach me? Will they teach me how to do a back tuck or back handspring again?
3. How hard will this be for me? I am 5 foot 4, and I weigh 115 pounds, most of it is muscle. I am pretty average-skinny weight for my grade. Should I lose some weight to help me do more skills? I also am fearless, lol. Like We have a trampoline, and I'll do backtucks and front tucks on it. The problem will be translating it to the floor.
Thanksfor any insight you can give me into this. Oh, and does it strengthen your wrists? I had chronic tendonitis in my right wrist. I'm hoping this can help strengthen the muscles there so it won't happen again.
