Nah!!
Not at all ... at 13, I first touched 'wall downball/handball'!
I went on to remain undefeated in doubles some years after that ... plus, by the time I was only in it 6 months, I was unbeatable!!
So I sure would have enjoyed you as my 'cheerleader'!
No, You can start anytime now ... many people don't even start Gym properly til they reach 18 - when they finally have to - to do their Phys Education degrees!!
Just get out there, and join in with a club.
Good Luck.
EDIT to the ever-cheeky "Skyblue":
I am nearly 60, Skyblue!
Let me tell you something:
You don't have to "imagine" someone nearly 60 doing gymnastics, because I did a few dive rolls off the beatboard and over the horse there a few months back!
Wouldn't do it again, I might say! But the point was, I did it!!!
... and I am a number of kilos overweight right now - In fact, i had a heart operation last year!
But none of that stopped me cleaning up 2 guys about 27 years old over the past few weeks in the 4 Square downball game!!!! ... plus I clean my 11 year-old son up in the game many times per week!
Guess wot!
I started playing that game last year after my operation!!!!!

Definitely give it a try. Can you take tumbling classes at a gym?
Check the site below for more ideas on how to get ready to cheer.

no it is not too late. as long as you are always fit you will probably never be too late. unless of course you are too old like 60. haha.
can you imagine someone who is 60 doing gymnastics? haha
