Gymnasts Tips for new gymnasts (please answer)

I can only do the splits, cartwheel and regular backbend. I want to learn how to do more and how to practice at home. I also need tips.

At home, focus on stretching, conditioning, and (if you have a routine, particularly compulsory) perfecting Choreography. Leave the skills for the gym.

Sign up for recreational classes at a local gym or if your school has it available join the gymnastics team.

Do you want to learn gymnastics because you want to compete in gymnastics competitions or are you trying to learn gymnastics tricks just for fun?

If you want to learn "tricks" quickly than a ninja/parkour class might be more of what you are looking for where they can show you how to do the flips and not worry so much about foundational building blocks.

If you want to be a gymnast than just listen to your coaches and take practice seriously even if it's doing something you already know or it seems too easy. The fundamental shapes and strength you learn early on are applicable to most of the advanced skills that are developed in upper levels.
