I have a girlfriend who's planning to put her 4 year old in gymnastics, because she wants to "make her like Bean, all flippy and stuff" lol! I've spent some time talking to her about the sport to fill her in on what to expect.
When we got started, we had NO idea what we were signing up for! Complete ignorance about cost, commitment, training hours, rate of skill development, etc.. Really, outside of knowing where the class was, we knew nothing at all! I'm hoping to help others avoid that helpless feeling by gathering some information for those who come here without a gym background.
So, if we could all post with 1-3 things we wished we'd known before getting involved in the sport, I think it would serve as a good eye opener for those getting started. Feel free to post anything, from the crazy number of leg lifts your 4 year old has to do, to the high price of floor choreography, and anything in between! I'm sure there will be some great stories in the mix
