Finding a good gymnastics club
- This is a must! Make sure the coaches are positive. Nowadays many coaches use the "technique" of negativity to try and "push" the gymnast. Be 100 percent sure your child is going to be pushed in a positive way, instead of always being put down.

Finding a good gymnastics coach
- It doesn't matter if a coach was a gymnast before, but make sure they know a lot about safety. They should be safety certified and the gym should look very safe. Accidents happen and the coaches should know what to do. Ask them about their safety procedures.

Finding a gymnastics club
- Make sure that the emphasis is on fun if your kid is little. Level 5s and 6s should still be having lots of fun. Otherwise they will quit!
