The name Calisthenics comes from the Greek words “kallos” for beauty and “sthenos” for strength. While this is the basic aim of the sport, the social aspect, and the confidence and self esteem building of its participants is considered to be just as important.
Calisthenics is widely practiced in Australia and is recognised as a fun and healthy way to keep fit for children of all ages. It is a uniquely Australian sport which requires discipline of mind and body, team work, a competitive spirit and a sense of responsibility
