Children can start gymnastics as young as two years old and continue taking the classes until well into teenage years. There are a lot of benefits to the kids gymnastics classes Delaware has to offer. This sport is a great way for your child to have fun while learning something new and is great exercise.

Children would not enjoy exercising for a whole hour if you told them to but if they are doing gymnastics for an hour they will enjoy it and get exercise without even realizing they are doing exercise. Kids age two and three start out doing easy routines.

They begin teaching the little kids how to do cart wheels and somersaults. Then they teach them how to walk on a beam that is on the floor. The beam is on the floor so the children don't get hurt if they fall. They also teach them hand stands. The young children begin learning easy things and then begin to work up to the tougher stuff.

There are ten different levels and the kids move up each level as they master each one. The child's age has nothing to do with which level they are at. What determines the level the child is in is the performance and knowledge of each level that they complete. A ten year old kid that is at level five can be in the same level as a child that is fifteen.

When a child begins this sport at a young age they can be in a very high level when they are older because they would have already mastered the lower levels. If a kid doesn't start the sport until they are ten years old then they will be in a level that is lower than the kids their age that has been doing the sport since they were much younger.
