Technical Examination System
Calisthenic Skills is an Australia wide initiative conducted by the Australian Calisthenic Federation. The examination system was first introduced in 1979 to raise the standard of Calisthenics and to unify terminology and technique throughout Australia. Gradually, to standardise the competency across all states, various levels have become prerequisites for Solo and Graceful Competitions and Coaches Accreditation. The program provides an opportunity for participants to personally achieve and improve standards in all areas of Calisthenics.
The system consists of three divisions – Tests (3 levels), Standards (4 levels), Grades (5 levels), and Bronze, Silver and Gold Medals. Participants are encouraged to progress through the system at their own pace, and then onto medals with the ultimate achievement being Gold Medal with Honours.
The Calisthenic Skills Program is administered by each State/Territory committee. The Australian Calisthenic Federation in conjuction with the Examiner’s Advisory Board are responsible for setting and changing guidelines (both technically and administratively).
