ACF Skills

CALISTHENICS SKILLS PROGRAMME

 The Australian Calisthenics Federation (ACF) Calisthenics Skills Programme is a National Programme administered by each State and Territory recognising individual achievement in all facets of Calisthenics.  Each girl is assessed individually.

The system consists of three divisions – TESTS, GRADES and MEDALS. Within these divisions there is a logical progression through the various elements which make up the foundation of calisthenics.  The Test and Grade examinations are based on a set syllabus and music audio which emphasises technical detail, presentation and knowledge of terminology. In the Medals section choreography and performance are also considered.

It is also a prerequisite for members who wish to participate in CASA Solos, Duos or Graceful Girls, or for those intending in the future to become a Coach or Class Assistant.

The exams and the recommended ages are:

•   All ages as of 31st of December
