There are quite a lot of schools these days: there are private schools where you can learn at any age; and there are Olympic reserve schools, but they only taken talented children up to a certain age. It’s usually quite difficult to get into those schools. You might try a private gymnastics school or club to start with, and if the trainer sees that the child has talent, she’ll recommend sending her to an Olympic reserve school.

It all depends on the parents’ plans. If the parents want the child to go into professional gymnastics, you have to try and get into an Olympic reserve school. If they are more interested in general development, there are masses of schools and clubs where you learn rhythmic gymnastics. Incidentally, there are lots of health clubs offering gymnastics now. I can’t recommend any specific school, but in the future I’ll be inviting everyone to my own School of Beauty and Grace.
