How many years to begin rhythmic gymnastics
Carrying out a complex performance programrequires a good memory and a certain level of physical development. Therefore, girls are not admitted to rhythmic gymnastics in specialized schools before the age of 8-9. And four-year-old children also come to sports sections, initially engaged in general physical development. In order to enter the Olympic reserve school, it is necessary to undergo physical training, which children receive in sports gymnastics sections. Lessons for young gymnasts last several hours a day. At an older age, the time of daily training can reach 14 hours. After 16 years, girls from rhythmic gymnastics move to ballet or choose a job as a teacher, and only a few continue their career until the age of 25.
