Your son seems to have the right abilities for gymnastics or has expressed a desire to go to gymnastics classes. Is gymnastics right for boys or is it purely a girls' sport? This article explores the pros and cons of taking up gymnastics as a boy. Firstly, we will consider the pros.

Gymnastics creates incredible core body strength. You only have to look at the physique of the men competing in the rings at any major gymnastics competition to see that male gymnasts have muscles that other men can only dream of!

Doing gymnastics can enhance coordination and bodily control. This is useful for all sports, such that gymnastics can be a springboard for performing other sports to a high level.

Urban street dance is one of the latest youth crazes and is seen regularly on our TV sets. Street dance groups are now becoming famous and street dance is performed around all the 'in' pop acts. It is therefore natural that boys should aspire to become street dancers. Gymnastics is an essential part of street dance with many moves requiring gymnastic abilities such as the planche which is a semi-horizontal handstand.

With the boys-girls ratio likely to be far in the boys favour, gymnastics classes can be a great way of finding girlfriends with similar interests.

Gymnastics is imperative for anyone thinking of becoming a stunt man. Doing stunts can be an exciting career, with involvement in TV and films in different locations across the world.

Gymnastics is extremely important for anyone thinking of a career on the stage or in performing arts. Cirque de Soleil is filled with talented gymnasts who stretch the boundaries of gymnastics with their death-defying feats and artistic performances. The fame and success of the Cirque de Soleil shows just how popular gymnastics is, even outside of traditional competition-based training.

The popularity of gymnastics acts in talent shows such as 'America's Got Talent' and 'Britain's Got Talent' shows how useful it is to practise the sport. Indeed, a gymnastics tumbling act called 'Spellbound' won the 2010 series of Britain's Got Talent. Interestingly, the troupe has more boys than girls in it.

In the US, some colleges offer gymnastics scholarships which could help immensely with the high costs of putting yourself through a college degree course. With less men doing gymnastics, men would have an advantage over women in securing one of these scholarships.
So what are the cons of signing your son up for gymnastics classes?

Your son could be the only boy in the gym class. Do not assume that this is automatically going to be the case. You will only find this out by going along to one of the classes yourself to view it or contacting the gym coach by phone or email. You can request that your son does a free taster session to see how it likes it and whether he is comfortable if there are not many other boys. If your son is reticent about going along by himself, a gymnastics-related gift could encourage him, such as as hand guards, a keyring or some gymnastics jewellery. Gymnastics jewelry comes in different types of metals such as silver and gold. Be careful of gymnastics jewelry produced in base metals as it can cause skin allergies. Alternatively, your son could take a friend along with him, if he has someone suitable. Talk to the parents of your son's friends to see if any of his friends might be interested in going along with him.
