Starting gymnastics in high school?

oh wow. i hate to say it, but if you have NO gymnastics training at all it will be almost impossible to get those in one year. ive been working for some of those thing for YEARS. you need to get really flexible and have class at LEAST 3 times a week to have a possibility of making the team. i really dont want to be a downer but it also depends on how much your willing to work for it. diet is eat lots of carbs! (pasta, bread and other grainy things you can find) they pack the energy you need to get through practice but eat at least 2 hours before the time you start so you can digest properly! stretching is a must and you should do it every day since you are new to it. pikes, straddles and any other things you can thing of (DO NOT ATTEMPT SPLITS, MY FRIEND FRACTURED HER PELVIS DOING THAT WITHOUT PROPER STRETCHING BEFOREHAND). you could jog a lot as exercise and pushups, situps, mountain climbers, weights, anything to bulk up muscles. its going to be hard, you have to really want this to suceed. im the same age as you and need the same requirements and i dont even know if i will make the team! some of these are hard elements to master so you need lots of training a week! i suggest starting in intermediate and taking some tumbling classes too. do your best, i really hope you make it!
