What are Calisthenic Skills?

Developed by the Australian Society of Calisthenics in 1979 to raise the standard of Calisthenics and to unify terminology and technique. The Cali skills programme has now been implemented Australia wide. The syllabus is taught in more than 200 clubs setting high standards of training for over 2,000 students each year. Qualified examiners accredited with the Australian Sports Commission travel to regional and interstate locations examining students in the syllabus at every level. Your child's safety is the paramount concern and the syllabus is developed to ensure that correctness of movement is the prime objective. The syllabus progresses through a number of stages suitable to the growth and development of the individual. NO demands are made of growing bodies greater than their stage of maturity. Benefits of Involvement! The syllabus is designed to develop: Fitness, Flexibility, Coordination & rhythm, sense of achievement, musical awareness, deportment and poise and at the same time promoting self esteem and self discipline. The Examinations: Cali is no more competitive than any other sport and our Cali Skills programme simply encourages children to set personal goals to which they can strive. Exams offer a challenge and a great sense of achievement for students. At the same time they provide parents with assurance of their child's progress and development. The programme ensures national standards are upheld and continue to improve.
