• Gymnastics exposes kids to a full spectrum of physical challenges and muscle development. Many other sports target only a select group of muscles. Gymnastics also requires equal use of both left and right sides of the body. This creates a more balanced musculature. Kids who have had several years of gymnastics are more prepared to enter other sports. They also experience fewer injuries.
• Gymnastics is a fantastic weight-bearing sport. Adults who have participated in such sports as a child have stronger bones. Most of our bone density develops by the time we finish our teen years. Adults still replace old bones, but it takes much longer. People who practice gymnastics and/or other weight bearing sports from childhood are less likely to develop osteoporosis later in life.
• Gymnastics Develops Coordination! Gymnastics challenges a child’s brain and body to properly align themselves. This allows them to perform these actions in a timely, graceful and safe manner. Even a few sessions of gymnastics can help kids improve coordination. It also gives them a significant boost in other sports.
