Here are some reasons why you should: Gymnastics is the only sport that works total body strength, flexibility, coordination, and aerobic development. Gymnastics enhances gross motor skills.   Self-discipline is developed due to the very nature of the sport.   Self-confidence is built through individualized goals and accomplishments, and by positive influences and encouragement from coaches.   Unlike any other sport, gymnastics is a unique way of developing strength and giving athletes that added edge, no matter what sport or activity they may try.   Early training results in increased kinesthetic awareness--balance, coordination, thinking skills, etc.   A NASA study showed that gymnasts have highly developed vestibular mechanisms which increase general learning, (academic as well as physical), memory, etc.  Gymnastics, above all else, is fun!
